Preventing falls: the use of machine learning for the prediction of future falls in individuals without history of fall
Nowadays, it becomes of paramount societal importance to support many frail-prone groups
in our society (elderly, patients with neurodegenerative diseases, etc.) to remain socially and …

Street crossing behavior in younger and older pedestrians: an eye-and head-tracking study
Background Crossing a street can be a very difficult task for older pedestrians. With
increased age and potential cognitive decline, older people take the decision to cross a …

The critical phase for visual control of human walking over complex terrain
To walk efficiently over complex terrain, humans must use vision to tailor their gait to the
upcoming ground surface without interfering with the exploitation of passive mechanical …

Evidence of a link between fall-related anxiety and high-risk patterns of visual search in older adults during adaptive locomotion
Background Older adults deemed to be at a high risk of falling will often display visual
search behaviors likely to impair movement planning when negotiating environmental …

Evidence that older adult fallers prioritise the planning of future stepping actions over the accurate execution of ongoing steps during complex locomotor tasks
GJ Chapman, MA Hollands - Gait & posture, 2007 - Elsevier
Previous research has highlighted differences between older adults determined to be at a
low-risk of falling (low-risk) and older adults prone to falling (high-risk) in both where and …
