Background:

Falls are a significant health concern, particularly in older adults.
Accurate assessment of fall risk is crucial for implementing preventive strategies.
Existing methods for fall risk assessment may have limitations in portability or comprehensiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and construct a novel, portable equipment for fall risk investigation.
To develop a system capable of assessing trunk sway and generating pneumatic pressure variations.
To evaluate the preliminary feasibility of this new equipment for fall-risk assessment.

Main Methods:

The equipment integrates 3 mono-axial accelerometers and 3 rate-gyroscopes to measure trunk sway.
A pneumatic pressure variation pattern generator is included in the system.
Bench testing was conducted to validate the equipment's functionality.

Main Results:

The newly designed equipment successfully passed bench testing.
Preliminary results demonstrate the system's capability to assess trunk sway.
The equipment showed potential for generating pneumatic pressure variations.

Conclusions:

The developed portable equipment is feasible for fall-risk assessment.
This novel device offers a promising tool for investigating and quantifying fall risk.
Further studies are warranted to fully validate its clinical utility.
