Revealing posturographic profile of patients with Parkinsonian syndromes through a novel hypothesis testing framework based on machine learning.

PloS one
Falling in Parkinsonian syndromes (PS) is associated with postural instability and consists a common cause of disability among PS patients. Current posturographic practices record the body's center-of-pressure displacement (statokinesigram) while the...

Comprehensive Review of Vision-Based Fall Detection Systems.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Vision-based fall detection systems have experienced fast development over the last years. To determine the course of its evolution and help new researchers, the main audience of this paper, a comprehensive revision of all published articles in the m...

A Machine Learning Multi-Class Approach for Fall Detection Systems Based on Wearable Sensors with a Study on Sampling Rates Selection.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Falls are dangerous for the elderly, often causing serious injuries especially when the fallen person stays on the ground for a long time without assistance. This paper extends our previous work on the development of a Fall Detection System (FDS) usi...

An eight-camera fall detection system using human fall pattern recognition via machine learning by a low-cost android box.

Scientific reports
Falls are a leading cause of unintentional injuries and can result in devastating disabilities and fatalities when left undetected and not treated in time. Current detection methods have one or more of the following problems: frequent battery replace...

Deep Convolutional and LSTM Networks on Multi-Channel Time Series Data for Gait Phase Recognition.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
With an ageing society comes the increased prevalence of gait disorders. The restriction of mobility leads to a considerable reduction in the quality of life, because associated falls increase morbidity and mortality. Consideration of gait analysis d...

The impact of errors in infant development: Falling like a baby.

Developmental science
What is the role of errors in infants' acquisition of basic skills such as walking, skills that require immense amounts of practice to become flexible and generative? Do infants change their behaviors based on negative feedback from errors, as sugges...

Hardware-Based Hopfield Neuromorphic Computing for Fall Detection.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
With the popularity of smart wearable systems, sensor signal processing poses more challenges to machine learning in embedded scenarios. For example, traditional machine-learning methods for data classification, especially in real time, are computati...

Deep Neural Network for Slip Detection on Ice Surface.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Slip-induced falls are among the most common causes of major occupational injuries and economic loss in Canada. Identifying the risk factors associated with slip events is key to developing preventive solutions to reduce falls. One factor is the slip...

Using machine learning-based analytics of daily activities to identify modifiable risk factors for falling in Parkinson's disease.

Parkinsonism & related disorders
BACKGROUND: Although risk factors that lead to falling in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been previously studied, the established predictors are mostly non-modifiable. A novel method for fall risk assessment may provide more insight into preventable h...

Accelerometer-Based Fall Detection Using Machine Learning: Training and Testing on Real-World Falls.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Falling is a significant health problem. Fall detection, to alert for medical attention, has been gaining increasing attention. Still, most of the existing studies use falls simulated in a laboratory environment to test the obtained performance. We a...
