Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The falling of elderly people is a major public health problem around the world. This study aimed to develop a fall risk assessment system. We conduct following 3 studies: 1) development of trip risk assessment system using force sensors, 2) understanding of gait features of fallers, and 3) development of fall risk assessment system using an accelerometer. Based on the results of our study, we developed 2 types of fall risk assessment system: one with force sensors and another with accelerometer.
