risk of falls in older adults. The fall risk assessment by the ML approaches with inertial measurement unit sensors improved the classification of the individuals with a high risk of falling. Our results are useful for the foundation for future works on fall prevention. Moreover, our ML ...
Risk for falls in older adults has been associated with falls efficacy (self-perceived confidence in performing daily physical activities) and postural balance, but available evidence is limited and mixed. We examined the interaction between falls efficacy and postural balance and its association with ...
Aim: Falls are common in patients with cognitive disorder. The purpose of this study was to determine whether global brain atrophy is associated with cognitive function, physical performance and fall incidents in older adults with mild cognitive disorder.Methods: A total of 31 older adults with mil...
Falls are acommon cause of injuryin older adults and can lead to disability. Luckily, the risk of falls can bereduced with regular exercise– but not all exercise. Ourlatest studyshows that so-called eccentric exercise—such as walking downhill—may temporarily increase the risk of falling. ...
Gait Risk Factors for Falls in Older Adults: A Dynamic Perspective.Focuses on risk factors related to a person's gait, or manner of walking. Gait risk factors in elders at risk for falls; Flexibility and stability of gait in elders at risk for falls; Application of the theory of dynamic ...
The objectives of this study were to determine if a relationship exists between a history of falls and anemia in older adults and to compare the findings by place of residence. The authors conducted a retrospective and observational study. One hundred forty-five adults (60–97 years of age) ...
Frailty was positively and significantly correlated with polypharmacy (rs = 0.274; p < 0.01) and risk of falls was negatively and significantly correlated with frailty (rs = –0.333; p < 0.01). Conclusions: There is a relationship between frailty and the risk of falls in older adults, ...
