Résumé

Reliable diagnosis of vascular parkinsonism (VaP) in the presence of a gait hypokinesia is an issue that is encountered in geriatrics. The EVAMAR-AGEX study was focusing on the phenomenon of recurrent falls in older persons (OP) with this parkinsonian gait. The present study is focusing on the diagnosis of VaP-related parkinsonian gait by developing a diagnostic guidance model adapted to OP.
