Evaluation of the Tinetti score and fall risk assessment via accelerometry-based movement analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• The Tinetti score is a clinical scale measuring the risk of fall in the elderly.

• Signals from a single wearable accelerometer were used to estimate the Tinetti score.

• Nine features were automatically selected and employed in a neural network.

• Model automatically assigned the fall risk without the intervention of a practitioner.

• The study fosters new technologies to monitor the risk of fall at home.
