Abstract Summary
Falling of the elderly has become an important issue in today's aging society. The key task to prevent falling is the exact detection of a falling event in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). However, certain ADL situations are difficult to classify due to motion and acceleration values of the fall situation. In this study, a methodology for experiments of the fall event and ADL is proposed using the accelerometer and the gyro-sensor. As the results of motion between ADL and fall situation were compared, the similarities and differences in the two situations were analysed.
