Gait and turning characteristics from daily life increase ability to predict future falls in people with Parkinson's disease

ConclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of considering precise digital measures, captured via sensors strategically placed on the feet and low back, to quantify several different aspects of gait (walking and turning) during daily life to improve the classification of future fallers in PD.
