A fall on the same level was the dominating injury mechanism in both seasons, but the proportion of injuries due to falls from a height was relatively higher in the warm season (15.4% vs. 3.5%) (Table 3). Table 3. Mechanisms of medically-treated, non-fatal accidental outdoor fall ...
Human falls, especially for elderly people, can cause serious injuries that might lead to permanent disability. Approximately 20–30% of the aged people in the United States who experienced fall accidents suffer from head trauma, injuries, or bruises. Fall detection is becoming an important public...

Before calculating the centroid height, ground plane should be found out first. Although finding out the ground plane is a complex work, Kinect SDK provides four parameters for us, which can be used to exactly calculate the height from any points in the depth image to the ground plane. ...
Based on the inverted pendulum model [70,71], it seems reasonable to assume that the undampened free oscillation harmonics displayed in the unperturbed upright stance will reflect the height of the perturbing factor (the lower the frequency of oscillation, the greater the distance from the ankle...
