Research Abstract	The aim of this study was to examine categorizing of falling patterns from artificial motions. But there were several limitations for reliability and tasks of the experiment, so we developed a check sheet that can visualize the circumstances of falling in detail. The check sheet confirmed to attempt by 28 cases of actual falling whether it was reliable, but was almost effective as a visualization tool. The final version improved that some problems in the trials were solved. Further consideration needed to advance specific measures and protectors that can cover a part of an injury.
