Background Falls are a major health problem for older adults with significant physical and
psychological consequences. A first step of successful fall prevention is to identify those at …

Falls not only present a considerable health threat, but the resulting treatment and loss of
working days also place a heavy economic burden on society. Gait instability is a major fall …

Background Wearable inertial sensors have grown in popularity as a means of objectively
assessing fall risk. This review aimed to identify gait and posture differences among older …

The objective assessment of physical activity levels through wearable inertial-based motion
detectors for the automatic, continuous and long-term monitoring of people in free-living …

Wearable inertial sensors have been widely investigated for fall risk assessment and
prediction in older adults. However, heterogeneity in published studies in terms of sensor …

Fall risk assessment is essential to predict and prevent falls in geriatric populations,
especially patients with life-long conditions like neurological disorders. Inertial sensor-based …

“Cautious” gait is generally characterized by wider and shorter steps. However, we do not
clearly understand the relationship between step characteristics and individuals' stability …

Purpose The aim of the research was to determine how knee extensor strength asymmetry
influences gait asymmetry and variability since these gait parameters have been related to …

Purpose To compare the stride-to-stride fluctuations, regularity and symmetry of gait using a
body-fixed accelerometer in a group of healthy young and healthy older adults. Methods …
