Background:Falls in the elderly are the number one cause of traumatic death in this population. Prevention of falls requires to evaluate which risk factors for fall are present for a person on the basis of available health information. Our objective is to predict the presence or the absence ...
Falls in the elderly are a major problem for today's society. If the elderly could get help immediately after the fall, the severity of the injury could be reduced. Also, it results in decreasing the rate of death and the medical cost. This paper presents a fall detection algorithm based...
Falls are frequent in the elderly and affect mortality, morbidity, loss of functional capacity and institutionalization. In the older patient the incidence of falls can sometimes be underestimated, even in the absence of a clear cognitive impairment, because it is often difficult to reconstruct the ...
Falls in the elderly are an increasing problem causing a high degree of morbidity, mortality, and use of health care services. Identification of risk factors through medical assessment supports the provision of appropriate interventions that reduce rates of falling. Evaluation and intervention strategies...

Training trainers who could offer classes to the elderly in community settings has the potential to improve the overall health and wellbeing of the elderly. This program evaluation sought to evaluate the impact of a brief train-the-trainers program disseminated throughout one state. We hypothesized...
The proposed fall detection system for the elderly is implemented through a body area sensor network using third-generation sensors. The evaluation results demonstrate the reasonable performance of the proposed fall detection prototype system in the tested scenarios. 展开 ...

This essay critically analyzes fall prevention intervention in diabetic elderly population and its impact on their health and wellbeing.
Falls impact over 25% of older adults annually, making fall prevention a critical public health focus. We aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based prediction model for serious fall-related injuries (FRIs) among community-dwelling older adul
