Biomechanical Parameters and Clinical Assessment Scores for Identifying Elderly Fallers Based on Balance and Dynamic Tasks

Biomechanical Parameters and Clinical Assessment Scores for Identifying Elderly Fallers Based on Balance and Dynamic Tasks

Accidental falls are a major health concern among older adults. Currently, fall prevention programs employ clinical assessment scores for identifying elderly fallers based on cut-off values. Biomechanical parameters provide crucial information differentiating pathological gait and posture and can be...
