Résumé
Falls are frequent in the elderly; they can have severe consequences, and sometimes reveal some underlying pathology. They represent a real public health problem which prompts numerous teams to search for adequate preventative measures, adapted therapeutic options, and means to reduce the various resulting costs. This paper describes the multidisciplinary hospital day service organized, by the CHU of Liege, for older patients who fall, or are at risk of falling.
