LPAD-based Fall Risk Assessment
About 30% of persons over 65 are subject to at least one fall during a year. A number of published studies identify statistical relations between risk factors and the probability of fall in terms of odds ratios. In this paper we present a tool based on the representation of risk factors as odds ratios. Such representation is exploited to automatically build a computational logic probabilistic p...

15 صفحه اولStriatal Dopamine Depletion Patterns and Early Non-Motor Burden in Parkinsons Disease
BACKGROUND The mechanism underlying non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we hypothesized that Parkinson patients with more non-motor symptoms have a different pattern of striatal dopamine depletion, particularly in areas other than the sensorimotor striatum, compared to those with fewer non-motor symptoms. METHODS We conducted a prospective sur...
متن کاملIn-home fall risk assessment and detection sensor system.
Falls are a major problem in older adults. A continuous, unobtrusive, environmentally mounted (i.e., embedded into the environment and not worn by the individual), in-home monitoring system that automatically detects when falls have occurred or when the risk of falling is increasing could alert health care providers and family members to intervene to improve physical function or manage illnesse...
