Fall Risks Assessment and Fall Prediction among Community Dwelling Elderly Using Wearable Wireless Sensors
This study examines the predictive ability of fall risks among community dwelling elderly using wearable wireless sensors. Forty-eight community-dwelling elderly (17 non-fallers and 31 fallers) participated in the study. Timed up and go test, sit-to-stand test and ten-meter walking test were carried out. Activitiesspecific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale was also obtained. The results showed fai...

متن کاملSurvey on Fall Detection and Fall Prevention Using Wearable and External Sensors
According to nihseniorhealth.gov (a website for older adults), falling represents a great threat as people get older, and providing mechanisms to detect and prevent falls is critical to improve people's lives. Over 1.6 million U.S. adults are treated for fall-related injuries in emergency rooms every year suffering fractures, loss of independence, and even death. It is clear then, that this pro...

متن کامل[Fall prevention in the elderly].
Causes of falling are multi-factorial. Although it is not easy to identify specific causes of falling, it is necessary to detect the significant causes of falling in each individual. In particular, use of medications and indoor hazards are important factors. We need to give instructions to families who live together with older persons how to avoid dangers of falling. Exercise has been proven to...
