Can a Body-Fixed Sensor Reduce Heisenbergs Uncertainty When It Comes to the Evaluation of Mobility? Effects of Aging and Fall Risk on Transitions in Daily Living

Conclusions:
Features extracted from the multiple transitions recorded during daily living apparently reflect changes associated with aging and fall risk. Long-term monitoring of temporal features and their distribution may be helpful to provide a more complete and accurate assessment of the effects of aging and fall risk on daily function and mobility.
