Fall Prediction Model for a Reconfigurable Mobile Support Robot
This work presents a fall prediction model to be used in conjunction with a reconfigurable robot for elderly mobility support. The fall prediction model is based on a Long Short Term Memory network. A predicted fall will inform a reconfigurable robot to expand its base of support to avoid possible …

Striding towards fewer falls: quantifying gait from flat and stair terrains to predict falls in older adults
Falls in older adults are a major problem; the current fall risk assessments used in fall prevention strategies suffer from a range of limitations. The use of wearable inertial sensors (IMUs) to quantitatively assess gait and predict falls can help fill these gaps. The aims of this research were …

Quantification of the human postural control system to perturbations
… decreased balance performance and increased fall risk. In study 4, IDA was applied to data collected on 444 community-dwelling elderly adults from the MOBILIZE Boston Study. Four out of five IDA parameters were able to successfully differentiate recurrent fallers from non-fallers, while only …
