Millions of people around the globe are impacted by falls annually, making it a significant public health concern. Falls are particularly challenging to detect in real time, as they often occur suddenly and with little warning, highlighting the need for innovative detection methods. This study aimed to assist in the advancement of an accurate and efficient fall detection system using electroencephalogram (EEG) data to recognize the reaction to a postural disturbance.

BACKGROUND: The epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) is an independent unit for video electroencephalogram monitoring of epilepsy patients, with the aim of capturing typical seizure events. Because of the uncontrolled seizure frequency, there may be safety risks for patients, such as falling, trauma, aspiration, status epilepticus, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. This study aims to evaluate the application effect of comprehensive safety projects on safety management in a pediatric EMU.

Identifying measures which accurately quantify reactive balance adaptation during walking is essential to understand how emerging perturbation-based gait paradigms impact stability over the course of an intervention. These perturbation paradigms have shown promise in reducing falls for numerous clinical populations, however tracking progress in objective terms throughout an intervention remains challenging. Whole body angular momentum (H) may be particularly suited to detect subtle adaptations in the reactive balance response and is applicable within numerous perturbation environments.
