Overview
Brief Summary
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.
Detailed 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.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Community seniors aged 65 to 84 years
- •A person who has no history of central nervous system disease
Exclusion Criteria
- •Older adults who are unable to walk independently due to vision loss, fractures, etc.
- •An elderly person who had musculoskeletal history that could cause problems in the function of the lower extremities, such as fractures, within three months before recruitment;
- •In case it is difficult to understand the task due to severe cognitive impairment (Korean simplified mental health examination, K-MMSE score 10 or less)
- •In the event of a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder;
- •In case of severe dizziness and difficulty in pedestrian inspection
- •Persons not eligible for examination
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Gait analysis
Time Frame: 1 hour
Gait analysis is a process of measuring and evaluating the walking patterns of patients by using surface electromyograph and motion analysis system. All participants perform overground walking to assess the change of kinematic, kinetic and muscle activation using a motion analysis and surface EMG
Secondary Outcomes
- 10 meter walk test (10MWT)(5 minutes)
- Change on metabolic energy expenditure(15 minutes)
- Change on muscle activity(30 minutes)
- Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)(5 minutes)
- 6 minutes walking test (6MWT)(6 minutes)
- Fall Efficacy Scale (FES)(5 minutes)
- The Timed Up and Go test (TUG)(5 minutes)
- Change on brain activity(30 minutes)
- Four Square Step Test (FSST)(5 minutes)
- Modified Bathel index (MBI)(5 minutes)
