Abstract
The prevention of falls in the elderly requires action on several levels. Firstly, it is essential to identify those at risk of a fall. They must then be encouraged to do appropriate physical and sports activities, a factor of prevention. Social workers have a major role to play in supporting elderly people and encouraging them to participate in such programmes.
Keywords: activité physique; chute, coordination; coordination; elderly person; fall; personne âgée; physical activity; prevention; prévention.
