Falls are a common and serious problem faced by older populations. There is a growing interest in estimating the risk of falling for older people using body-worn sensors and simple movement tasks, allowing appropriate fall prevention programs to be administered in a timely manner to the high risk population. This study investigated the capability and validity of using a waist-mounted triaxial accelerometer...
Falls are a prominent problem facing older adults and a common cause of hospitalized injuries. Accurate falls-risk assessment and classification of falls-risk levels will provide useful information for the prevention of future falls. This study presents a triaxial accelerometer (TA) based two-class classifier, which discriminates between multiple fallers and non-multiple fallers, using a directed-routine...
Injurious falls are a prevalent and serious problem faced by a growing elderly population. Accurate assessment and long-term monitoring of falls-risk could prove useful in the prevention of falls, by identifying those at risk of falling early so targeted intervention may be prescribed. Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using triaxial accelerometry to estimate the risk of a person...
