Utilize pressure insole data and computer vision-enhanced recordings of community-dwelling older adults performing a standard balance assessment, the Timed Up and Go test, to develop an objective and data-driven metric of dynamic balance. This metric will be integrated into the Fall Risk Appraisal matrix to understand the role of dynamic balance in screening for fall risk in older adults. |
