Primary Outcome Measures

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

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Subject data is collected like height, weight and date of birth, fear of<br /><br>falling, but also information about health state is collected</p><br>
