Association between Daily-Life Gait Quality Characteristics and Physiological Fall Risk in Older People
Gait quality characteristics obtained from accelerometry during daily life are predictive of falls in older people but it is unclear how they relate to fall risk. Our aim was to test whether these gait quality characteristics are associated with the severity of fall risk. We collected one week of tr...
