Falls and postural stability in older individuals: Implications for activities of daily living
(2017-02-07)
The risk of falling is associated with aging-related motor and sensory declines. In fact, a higher incidence of falls has been observed in individuals of over 60 years who are known to have balance problems. The current ...
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 ...
