Abstract
Falls can be detrimental, especially in the elderly. We focused on balanced and unbalanced conditions while standing and walking. Body accelerations on the sternum, right wrist, waist, left and right ankles were measured, as well as galvanic skin response (GSR). The results showed that the unbalanced conditions were significantly different from balanced conditions. Acceleration ranges increased during unbalanced conditions, along with large peaks, which represent detectable sways and trips. The correlations between accelerations and GSR were well correlated, which is promising for predicting body balance and unbalance leading to falls.
