    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Injurious falls pose a significant risk to the aging population.
    • Early identification of fall risk is crucial for preventative interventions.
    • Triaxial accelerometry has shown promise in assessing fall risk through movement analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To improve the accuracy of fall risk assessment using accelerometry data.
    • To integrate frequency-domain features with existing time-domain features.
    • To validate the enhanced system in an unsupervised home environment.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized triaxial accelerometry to capture movement data during a directed routine.
    • Extracted both time-domain and novel frequency-domain features (harmonic ratios).
    • Compared the correlation with clinical fall risk using manual and automated signal segmentation.

    Main Results:

    • Incorporating spectral features increased correlation with fall risk from r=0.81 to r=0.96 (manual segmentation).
    • With automated segmentation, correlation improved from r=0.73 to r=0.99 after adding spectral features.
    • Demonstrated a strong correlation between enhanced accelerometry analysis and clinical fall risk.

    Conclusions:

    • The integration of spectral analysis significantly enhances the accuracy of accelerometry-based fall risk assessment.
    • The improved system shows high feasibility for unsupervised, in-home monitoring of fall risk.
    • This approach supports early identification and targeted interventions for fall prevention in the elderly.
