Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention
This cluster of papers focuses on gait analysis, fall risk assessment, and interventions for fall prevention in the elderly population. It covers topics such as gait speed, balance control, physical performance measures, and the impact of various factors on fall risk, including age-related changes, neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease, and muscle strength. The cluster also addresses the reliability and validity of assessment tools and the effectiveness of exercise programs for reducing fall incidence.
Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
