Meta-analysis of the impact of 9 medication classes on falls in elderly persons. (2009, background): “Several commonly used medications have been implicated in the probability of both falling and sustaining fractures after a fall.(12,13) However, determining which medications contribute to falls and which do not remains a clinical challenge.”
Accelerometry: a technique for quantifying movement patterns during walking. (2008, methodology): “[123] employed an assessment-based falls risk measure (Physiological Profile Assessment [124]) to separate low, moderate and high risk fallers.”
The Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I). A comprehensive longitudinal validation study. (2010, methodology): “The Physiological Profi le Assessment (PPA) was used to gain an estimate of physiological falls risk [12].”
A Review of Accelerometry-Based Wearable Motion Detectors for Physical Activity Monitoring (2010, neutral): “[52] also adopts postural sway as one of the six tests for screening risk of falling.”
