Predictive model for falling in Parkinson disease patients
(Elsevier, 2016)
Background/aims: Falls are a common complication of advancing Parkinson's disease (PD). Although numerous risk factors are known, reliable predictors of future falls are still lacking. The aim of this study was to develop ...
Is it possible to predict falls in older adults using gait kinematics?
(2018-11-01)
Background: Gait kinematic parameters have been reported as an important clinical tool to assess the risk of falls in older adults. However, the ability of these parameters to predict falls in the older population is still ...
Testing The Reliability Of The Downton Fall Risk Index For Predicting Incident Falls In Community-Dwelling Older Adults. A Prospective Population-Based Study.
(Sociedad Médica Ecuatoriana de Neurología, 2022)
Center of pressure responses to unpredictable external perturbations indicate low accuracy in predicting fall risk in people with Parkinson’s disease
(2021-02-09)
Falls are associated with impairment in postural control in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). We aimed to predict the fall risk through models combining postural responses with clinical and cognitive measures. Also, ...

(2021-04-01)
Falls are associated with impairment in postural control in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). We aimed to predict the fall risk through models combining postural responses with clinical and cognitive measures. Also, ...
Fatores de risco e ferramentas clínico-funcionais de rastreio do risco de quedas em idosas com baixa densidade óssea: um estudo longitudinal
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2014-05-23)
Background: In older people with osteoporosis and osteopenia falls are noteworthy among factors that contribute to increased occurrence of fractures because they have a high incidence and are preventable. The identification ...
Utility of center of pressure measures during obstacle crossing in prediction of fall risk in people with Parkinson's disease
(2019-08-01)
Introduction: Postural instability during walking and tripping over obstacles are the main causes of falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Preliminary limited evidence suggests that the length of the prospective ...
Can postural control asymmetry predict falls in people with Parkinson's disease?
(2018-10-01)
This study aimed to determine the relationship between postural asymmetry and falls in Parkinson's disease (PD). In total, 28 patients with PD were included. Postural control was analyzed in bipedal, tandem, and unipedal ...
The ability of gait kinematic parameters to predict falls in older adults with cognitive impairments living in long term institutions
(2019-05-01)
Background: Cognitive impairments reduce adaptive responses and may increase the risk of falls. Objectives: To compare gait kinematics in older adults with cognitive impairments living in long term institutions and to ...
Heart rate variability and falls in Huntington’s disease
(Dr. Dietrich Steinkopff Verlag, 2020-02)
Purpose: Persons with Huntington's disease (HD) have a high incidence of falls. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction has been reported even in early stages of this disease. To date, there has been no analysis of the ...
