    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Computer Vision

    Background:

    • Falls in elderly people at home are a significant health concern.
    • Gait parameter analysis is a promising method for fall risk assessment.
    • Markerless motion tracking offers a non-intrusive approach to monitoring.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a markerless system for fall prevention in elderly individuals.
    • To assess the accuracy of a Kinect-based system in measuring key gait parameters.
    • To evaluate the system's robustness under various walking conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a Microsoft Kinect camera for simultaneous RGB and depth image acquisition.
    • Developed a system to track the center of mass for extracting gait parameters: step length, step duration, and gait speed.
    • Validated the system by comparing Kinect-derived parameters against an actimetric carpet in an experimental setup with eleven subjects.

    Main Results:

    • The markerless system demonstrated accuracy in measuring gait parameters when the camera was fixed perpendicularly.
    • The system's performance was evaluated across four conditions: normal walking, small steps, wearing a skirt, and direct camera view.
    • Results indicate high accuracy for the proposed gait analysis method.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed markerless system using a Kinect camera is accurate for gait analysis.
    • The system shows significant potential for application in real-world fall prevention strategies for the elderly.
    • Further validation in diverse home environments could enhance its applicability.
