Abstract:Falls of elderly during walking cause serious injury as fracture probably. Most of falls results from tripping, Minimum Toe Clearance(MinTC) indicating easiness to tripping was studied by a lot of researchers. It was reported that variability of MinTC was greater in the elderly than the young. This paper proposes a method to make a judgement on easiness to tripping based on the height of MinTC using One Dimensional Brightness Distribution Sensor. For the purpose, we detected the difference between normal gait … Show more
