"Falls are a major
cause of morbidity an the elderly and in almost all incidences
of falls, some aspects of locomotion have been implicated.
With the increased life expectancy of the elderly and their
more active lifestyle there is now an emphasis on determining
any changes that occur in their gait patterns in order to reduce
the frequency of falls, to identify diagnostic measures that
are predictors of fall-prone elderly and finally to develop
programs for preventing such falls." |
