Fear of falling in community-dwelling older adults: What their gait acceleration pattern reveals

Fear of Falling (FOF) is common among community-dwelling older adults and is associated with increased fall-risk, reduced activity, and gait modifications. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the relationships between FOF and gait quality. Older adults (N=232; age 77±6; 65 % females) reported...

description Fear of Falling (FOF) is common among community-dwelling older adults and is associated with increased fall-risk, reduced activity, and gait modifications. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the relationships between FOF and gait quality. Older adults (N=232; age 77±6; 65 % females) reported FOF by a single yes/no question. Gait quality was quantified as (1) harmonic ratio (smoothness) and other time-frequency spatiotemporal variables from triaxial accelerometry (Vertical-V, Mediolateral-ML, Anterior-Posterior -AP) during six-minute walk; (2) gait speed, step-time CoV (variability), and walk-ratio (step-length/cadence) on a 4-m instrumented walkway. Mann Whitney U-tests and Random forest classifier compared gait between those with and without FOF. Selected gait variables were used to build Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and performance was evaluated using AUC-ROC. Individuals with FOF had slower gait speed (103.66 ± 17.09 vs. 110.07 ± 14.83 cm/s), greater step time CoV (4.17 ± 1.66 vs. 3.72 ± 1.24 %), smaller walk-ratio (0.53 ± 0.08 vs. 0.56 ± 0.07 cm/steps/minute), smaller standard deviation V (0.15 ± 0.06 vs. 0.18 ± 0.09 m/s ), and smaller harmonic-ratio V (2.14 ± 0.73 vs. 2.38 ± 0.58), all p
