Our model was designed with the intention of serving as a national surveillance tool for monitoring fall-related injuries in South Korea, where the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) operates a Drug Utilization Review (DUR) system. This system is instrumental in providing real-ti...
Falling injuries are frequently identified both in home and in hospital environments and make many elderly persons live under continue observation, causing discomfort. Dis- creet monitoring of the individuals in order to identify such major injuries, is a challenging task. Several techniques have been...
to monitor static postural control [33,34,35]. In addition, wearable systems such as accelerometers, gyroscopes or inertial measurement units (IMUs), 3D motion tracking systems, and gaze tracking systems can now be used in clinics for gait analysis and mobility monitoring [36,37,38,39,40,41...
Data monitoring protocols will be established to ensure that any adverse events are reported by study coordinators and PhD students to the responsible PI (Drs. Britting and Freiberger for the intervention part, Prof. Dr. Rohleder for the laboratory part). Responsible PIs will notify the relevant ...
