[Walking problems and falls in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease].
Walking problems and falls are a daily concern for healthcare professionals working with patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease. These problems and their complications often have consequences in terms of functional prognosis. The disease is not solely responsible and several aggravating factors need to be identified and investigated as some of them can be effectively prevented.
