Sampling method: NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: People living in their home, more than 70 years old, alone or not.

Brief summary: This study evaluates the reliability of the French version of the "elderly mobility scale" and its correlation with the "frailty elderly scale "

Detailed description: The research question:

How to effectively measure the physical independence of the elderly at home and how, from this measure, the investigators can determine the fragility threshold of the elderly.

The elderly mobility scale measures the critical points of the patient's physical autonomy. This scale was developed in Great Britain. The purpose of this study is to establish the reliability of this French version scale and to study the correlation with the elderly scale fragility.

People are recruited by a Medical consultant. After consent, their frailty is measured and a prescription is done to see a Physical therapist. The physical therapist will evaluate the physical points measured/ mentioned in the Elderly Mobility Scale, twice in a week, with two different assessors.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* living at home, more than 70 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

* current recovery for orthopaedic problems
* Cognition impairment
* all acute problems with an impairment of mobility
