Choice stepping reaction time test using exergame technology for fall risk assessment in older people
By Lis Boulton on January 1, 2015 in Epidemiology of falls, Falls and technology related publications
The aim of this study was to examine if a sensor-based Exergame Choice Stepping Reaction Time test can successfully discriminate older fallers from non-fallers.
A study of position independent algorithms for phone-based gait frequency detection
Using sensor data collected from volunteers walking with a smartphone, we examine the effect of using three different time series with the magnitude, weighted sum, and closest vertical component algorithms described in the paper.
A gait analysis method based on a depth camera for fall prevention
This paper proposes a markerless system whose purpose is to help preventing falls of elderly people at home. To track human movements, the Microsoft Kinect camera is used which allows to acquire at the same time a RGB image and a depth image.
