Multiscale Entropy Analysis of Postural Stability for Estimating Fall Risk via Domain Knowledge of Timed-Up-And-Go Accelerometer Data for Elderly People Living in a Community

As people in developed countries live longer, assessing the fall risk becomes more important. A major contributor to the risk of elderly people falling is postural instability. This study aimed to use the multiscale entropy (MSE) analysis to evaluate postural stability during a timed-up-and-go (TUG)...
