Identification of Risk Factors for Falls in the Elderly

Abstract

Several technological apparatus and functional clinical trials are developed for the evaluation of the fall in the elderly. However, it is noted that these in their vast majority, evaluate the population generally, disregarding gender or age. In the research, the sample was stratified into: FG (Female Group); MG (Male Group); aged 60 to 69 years old (FG1 and MG1); aged 70 years old (FG2 and MG2).
