This study aimed to develop a fall prediction model for older adults by measuring the multi-faceted biosignal data to classify the walking patterns and by identifying causal relationships with the variables that affect the fall.

Full description

This study aimed to develop a fall prediction model by measuring the multi-paceted biosignal data for the elderly's physical function and walking to classify the walking patterns of the elderly, and by identifying causal relationships and influences with the variables that affect the fall.
