Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary study outcome is the possibility to determine fall risk objective. Important parameters are for - gait analysis: walk speed, frequency, step length, variability, vertical displacement, asymmetry and regularity - balance: sway area, frequency, velocity and root mean square - Get Up and Go test: time and speed - one day measurement: to investigate the mobility and extra fall related movement parameters. This is the first step to monitor subjects in the field. - investigate relation between fall risk, activity pattern (from acceleration data day measurement) and fear of falling

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Subject data is collected like height, weight and date of birth, fear of falling, but also information about health state is collected
