A fall was defined according to the WHO International ICD diagnosis code. Falls from the same level, on stairs, and from height were included. Incident falls were recorded biweekly via SMS, and in case of positive reports assessed with telephone interviews. History of falls was assessed at bas...
Falls are characterized as “Carelessly coming to rest on the floor, ground or other lower level, without intentional change in position to rest on the wall, furniture or other objects”. (WHO global report about falls). They were implied as E880-E888 in ICD-9 and W00–W19 in ICD-10, ...
The exist- ence of a national database of inpatient hospitalizations in addition to the presence of cause of injury ICD-10 codes has enabled us to use the database to study the whole population of fall-related hospitalizations making the results nationally-representative. Previous research on ...
Peritectic reaction, in which the primary phase reacts with a liquid phase at a triple junction on cooling to pro- duce the peritectic phase, is observed in many binary alloys systems, such as Ti-Al, Fe-Co, Fe-Ni, etc1–3. Peritectic reaction terminates once the primary phase is en...
daily incidence of AOFIs in the cold season (20.2 per 100,000 population) was observed on days when the ground surface was covered by compact or wet snow, air temperature ranged from −7.0 °C to −0.7 °C, and the amount of precipitation was above 0.4 mm. In the warm season, ...
Inclusion and exclusion criteria: over the past five years, the community has created a dynamic focus list; as of this study, there were 98 people on the list. Forty of them had musculoskeletal system problems such as hip fractures and muscle contusions due to falls; five were unable to pa...
Abstract: This paper presents a new approach for fall detection based on two features and their motion characteristics extracted from the human torso. The 3D positions of the hip center joint and the shoulder center joint in depth images are used to build a fall detection model named the human...
