- Fear of falling: measurement strategy, prevalence, risk factors and consequences among older persons. (2008, background): “Only two of them, namely Friedman et al. (2002) [18] and Murphy et al. (2003) [20] were able to provide an incidence, as these studies were in patients who experienced a fall for the first time during follow-up and developed FOF.”
- Fear-related avoidance of activities, falls and physical frailty. A prospective community-based cohort study. (2004, background): “Although it is reasonable to assume that a fall precedes a pattern of fear and avoidance, several studies have pointed out that this is not necessarily the case for everybody [4, 17].”
- Prevalence and correlates of fear of falling, and associated avoidance of activity in the general population of community-living older people. (2007, background): “Variations in prevalence rates may be due to differences in population characteristics, like age, fall history and frailty, and applied measures [10, 14].”
- The Short FES-I: a shortened version of the falls efficacy scale-international to assess fear of falling. (2007, background): “However, when fear of falling results in avoidance of activities [5, 6, 9] and reduction of physical fitness, it is a risk factor for future falls [9] and associated mortality, dysfunctioning, and premature nursing home admissions [10–13].”
- The Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I). A comprehensive longitudinal validation study. (2010, background): “validity was confirmed for previous falls [2, 7, 25, 28], depressive symptoms [25], overall disability [24], low quality of life [23] and physical impairment [21, 22].”
- RT-Fall: A Real-Time and Contactless Fall Detection System with Commodity WiFi Devices (2017, background): “Experimental results in four indoor scenarios demonstrate that RT-fall consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art approach WiFall with 14 percent higher sensitivity and 10 percent higher specificity on average.”
- Challenges, issues and trends in fall detection systems (2013, background): “In fact, falls and fear of falling depend on each other: an individual who falls may subsequently develop fear of falling and, viceversa, the fear of falling may increase the risk of suffering from a fall [2].”
