Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators will measure range of motion of the elbow in a geriatric assessment in 85 subjects aged 65 years or over. These measures will be made by an actigraph and the software analysis BioVal. This technique will be compared with the standard technique (inclinometer). It will also be evaluated during this study, the ease of use and feedback.

Conditions

Geriatric Disorder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Inclinometer and actigraph assessment

  Elbow joint measures by the inclinometer and the actigraph

  elbow joint measures are done just at one time point, during the visit

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Assessment of easily use

  Assessment are done just at one time point, during the visit

• Assessment comfort and utility of use

  Assessment are done just at one time point, during the visit

• measurement time

  Assessment are done just at one time point, during the visit
