Background: Most falls occur during walking and are due to trips, slips or misplaced steps,
which suggests a reduced walking adaptability. The objective of this study was to evaluate …

Given that falls most commonly occur during walking due to unexpected balance
perturbations like trips and slips, walking-based balance assessment including walking …

Background Though gait evaluation is recommended as a core component of fall risk
assessments, a systematic examination of the predictive validity of different modes of gait …

Background Laboratory studies of postural responses suggest that stepping is a common
strategy for balance recovery. Yet little is known about the frequency and characteristics of …

The objective of this systematic review is to identify motion analysis parameters measured
during challenging walking tasks which can predict fall risk in the older population …

Falls are common in patients with neurological disorders and are a primary cause of injuries.
Nonetheless, fall-associated gait characteristics are poorly understood in these patients …

Background As the proportion of older adults in the population increases, so does the
associated prevalence of falls, making falls the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries …

Neurological patients can have severe gait impairments that contribute to fall risks.
Predicting falls from gait abnormalities could aid clinicians and patients mitigate fall risk. The …

Thus far, few studies have examined the estimation and actual performance of locomotor
ability in older adults. To our knowledge, there are no studies examining the relationship …

Background. Many approaches are used to evaluate fall risk. While their properties and
performance vary, most reflect performance at a specific moment or are based on subjective …
