title: [The aged human as an accident patient].
abstract: An older person has very limited resources at his disposal for physical and psychological compensation and he is thus particularly affected in the case of accident. Therapy must therefore be aimed at retaining or reestablishing the general mobility of the patient, above all his physical re-mobilization, within the shortest possible space of time. Practical consequences are discussed here.
