Acceleration Magnitude at Impact Following Loss of Balance Can Be Estimated Using Deep Learning Model.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Pre-impact fall detection can detect a fall before a body segment hits the ground. When it is integrated with a protective system, it can directly prevent an injury due to hitting the ground. An impact acceleration peak magnitude is one of key measur...

Detection of Gait Abnormalities for Fall Risk Assessment Using Wrist-Worn Inertial Sensors and Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Falls are a significant threat to the health and independence of elderly people and represent an enormous burden on the healthcare system. Successfully predicting falls could be of great help, yet this requires a timely and accurate fall risk assessm...

Automatic fall detection using region-based convolutional neural network.

International journal of injury control and safety promotion
The common classifiers usually used to detect fall incidents depend on building and maintaining complex feature extraction for accurate machine learning tasks. However, these efforts have not succeeded in determining an ideal classifier or feature ex...

Application of Machine Learning Methods in Nursing Home Research.

International journal of environmental research and public health
A machine learning (ML) system is able to construct algorithms to continue improving predictions and generate automated knowledge through data-driven predictors or decisions. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare six ML methods (random...

Using Machine Learning to Make Predictions in Patients Who Fall.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: As the population ages, the incidence of traumatic falls has been increasing. We hypothesize that a machine learning algorithm can more accurately predict mortality after a fall compared with a standard logistic regression (LR) model base...

Development and validation of a robotic multifactorial fall-risk predictive model: A one-year prospective study in community-dwelling older adults.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Falls in the elderly are a major public health concern because of their high incidence, the involvement of many risk factors, the considerable post-fall morbidity and mortality, and the health-related and social costs. Given that many fal...

Rehabilitation of older people with Parkinson's disease: an innovative protocol for RCT study to evaluate the potential of robotic-based technologies.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is one of the most frequent causes of disability among the older adults. It is a chronic-progressive neuro-degenerative disease, characterized by several motor disorders. Balance disorders are a symptom that involves t...

Deep learning prediction of falls among nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease.

Geriatrics & gerontology international
AIM: This study aimed to use a convolutional neural network (CNN) to investigate the associations between the time of falling and multiple complicating factors, including age, dementia severity, lower extremity strength and physical function, among n...

Characteristic analysis and fuzzy simulation of falls-from-height mechanics, and case studies.

Forensic science international
In this paper, methods for scientifically inferring the causes of the falls-from-height accidents, that is, the initial fall postures, and reconstructing the fall accident are presented. For this purpose, the general types of fall were subdivided int...
