Biomechanical Measures for Fall Risk Assessment and Fall Detection in People with Transfemoral Amputations for the Next-Generation Prostheses: A Scoping Review

Silvestro Micera

Introduction: Transfemoral amputations are known to compromise balance control capabilities, thus increasing the probability of falling. Current research in robotic prostheses is exploring novel strategies to assess the risk of fall and, if required, enabl ...

Ambulatory Assessment of the Dynamic Margin of Stability Using an Inertial Sensor Network

Silvestro Micera

Loss of stability is a precursor to falling and therefore represents a leading cause of injury, especially in fragile people. Thus, dynamic stability during activities of daily living (ADLs) needs to be considered to assess balance control and fall risk. T ...

Stability against backward balance loss: Age-related modifications following slip-like perturbations of multiple amplitudes

Silvestro Micera

Falls are one of the most serious problems in the elderly. Although previous studies clearly link the increased risk of falls with ageing, the mechanisms responsible for the modifications of reactive motor behaviours in response to external perturbations a ...

Development of a standard fall data format for signals from body-worn sensors The FARSEEING consensus

Kamiar Aminian

Objective measurement of real-world fall events by using body-worn sensor devices can improve the understanding of falls in older people and enable new technology to prevent, predict, and automatically recognize falls. However, these events are rare and he ...

Design and evaluation of a new mechatronic platform for assessment and prevention of fall risks

Silvestro Micera

Background: Studying the responses in human behaviour to external perturbations during daily motor tasks is of key importance for understanding mechanisms of balance control and for investigating the functional response of targeted subjects. Experimental p ...

Foot worn inertial sensors for gait assessment and rehabilitation based on motorized shoes

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Benoît Mariani

Fall prevention in elderly subjects is often based on training and rehabilitation programs that include mostly traditional balance and strength exercises. By applying such conventional interventions to improve gait performance and decrease fall risk, some ...

Dry rock avalanche propagation : unconstrained flow experiments with granular materials and blocks at small scale

Irene Manzella

Rock avalanches are catastrophic phenomena which are not yet exhaustively understood. They consist of rock mass movements of more than one million cubic metres, involving a great amount of energy and travelling farther than expected with a normal sliding f ...
