A Fall Prevention System for the Elderly: Preliminary Results

The fall prevention in the elderly population is a field of growing interest. This paper presents the preliminary results of a fall prevention system based on a customized exergame program. Results show that the participants involved in the experiments evaluate positively the system usability. Moreover, in order to evaluate the efficiency of the system, a global improvement of around 8.8% has been observed in the postural response after just two sessions with the system.
