Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of a smart airbag system that detects and mitigates fall-related impact in individuals with high fall risk.

Conditions

  • Falling
  • Fall Patients
  • Stroke
  • Parkinson Disease
  • Lower Limb Amputation Knee
  • Fall Injury

Interventions

DEVICE

Airbag Belt Fall Protection System

Both versions of Airbags features different number of IMU sensors. Participant's will be randomly assigned one of the two versions. The algorithms developed in this project will help the researcher to identify the optimal performance (sensitivity and specificity values for detecting falls). Based on this information the research team will be able to choose a version for home/community deployment portion of the study. Based on the performance of the airbags in detecting true positives (falls) and true negatives (non-falls) accurately one of the airbags will be used in community deployment phase of the study.
