VIDEO-BASED FALL DOCUMENTATION SYSTEM FOR THE ELDERLY

老年人中的福尔斯在老年病护理中造成了日益严重的问题 和研究在实际的福尔斯和难以预测，检测， 在这样一个庞大而多样文书和文件中， 人口 这里有一个新的、创新的基于视频的系统 建议开发，以促进标准化 经济监测和记录方法 在跌倒风险增加的地区选择人群，沿着 随后的文件的福尔斯为以后的研究。 系统 将利用最新的国家的最先进的，但具有成本效益的视频 设备，并将在受控实验室环境中进行测试 一个装有仪器的人体模型。 该系统将在 安装在临床环境中进行评估。 使用也将是 由先进的基于视频的运动分析系统， 确认I期实验室数据，并进一步定义 第二阶段计划的发展。

Falls among the elderly pose a growing problem in geriatrics care and research in that actual falls and hard to predict, detect, instrument, and document among such a large and diverse population. A new and innovative video-based system is herein proposed for development that would facilitate a standardized methodology for the economical monitoring and recording of selected populations in areas of increased fall risk along with the subsequent documentation of the falls for later study. The system will utilize the latest in state-of-the-art yet cost-effective video equipment and will be tested in a controlled laboratory setting with an instrumented mannequin. The system will then be installed in a clinical environment for evaluation. Use will also be made of advanced video-based motion analysis systems for qualifying the Phase I laboratory data and defining further developments for a Phase II program.
