Brief Summary
The ankle is an important joint to maintain a good balance within the population of the older adult. As people get older, problems appear in this joint. Many of these problems affect the correct joint range of the ankle. There is evidence to suggest that a lower range of motion in the ankle can negatively affect balance and, consequently, increase the risk of falls in the elderly. It would be interesting to assess if this relationship is true. The aim of the study will be to study if the state of the joint range of the ankle is related in some way to balance and falls in the elderly.

Study Arms (1)
Older adult
Individuals belonging to the population group of the elderly (60 years or more)
Interventions
An assessment is made of the participants measuring both the joint range of the ankle and the balance and risk of falls.
Eligibility Criteria
The subjects must belong to the population of older adults, who must not present serious pathologies that make their balance or mobility difficult, although they can use aids.
You may qualify if:
- Be 60 years old or older
You may not qualify if:
- Do not sign the informed consent
- Lower limb injury in the previous three months
- Presenting severe pathology that affects balance or mobility
