Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Investigations at the study site:
Gait and stance analysis (pait analysis (GaitRite), Timed up and go-Test, Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), posturography)
systemic history of falls and near-falls
cognitive impairment (MoCA)
clinical-neurological work-up, specific instrument-based diagnostics
history of other diseases and medication
questionnaires (health-related quality of life, concerns of falling)
Every participant will receive a mini sensor (accelerometer and goniometer) that will be attached at the patient’s thigh with a pl
