title: Travelling in old age.
abstract: Expanding the "journey test", the author recommends a simple diagnostic test by which the physician can gain a quick information on the psycho-motoric-somatic status of the old patients--as evidenced by 100 cases examined. To make a journey is recommended by the physician even to old people provided the following conditions are fulfilled: I. intact capacity of reasoning; II. satisfactory somatic condition; III. ability of harmonic (co-ordinated) locomotion; IV. financial (objective) resources available for the journey.
