BACKGROUND: As the global population ages healthcare challenges are escalating. Frailty, a clinical syndrome characterized by decreased reserve and resilience to stressors, is critically linked to adverse health outcomes in older adults. However, art...
INTRODUCTION: Injuries induced by falls represent the main cause of failure in the French Navy Special Forces selection course. In the present study, we made the assumption that probing the posture might contribute to predicting the risk of fall-rela...
Pain is common in middle-aged and older adults, has also been identified as a fall risk factor, whereas the mechanism of falls in pain is unclear. This study included 13,074 middle-aged and older adults from the China health and retirement longitudin...

Falls pose a substantial risk to elderly individuals, especially those over 65, often leading to severe consequences. This project investigates the potential of the tēmi robot for fall detection in care facilities and its integration into a simulated...
BACKGROUND: Postural instability and gait difficulties are key symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), elevating the risk of falls substantially. Falls afflict 35% to 90% of PD patients, representing a major challenge in managing the condition. Accurat...

Falls pose a significant risk, especially among elderly persons. Recently, radar sensors have been explored for fall detection. In this study, an attempt has been made to classify fall detection using multiple radars, machine learning (ML) classifier...
Fall-related injuries (FRIs) are a major cause of hospitalizations among older patients, but identifying them in unstructured clinical notes poses challenges for large-scale research. In this study, we developed and evaluated natural language process...
