Gait Parameters for Falls Risk in Women Aged 50 to 70 Years

Thirty-five healthy women without a recent history of falls were analyzed using three-dimensional gait analysis. The dataset compares spatiotemporal gait parameters between young women (20-40 years) and adult/older women (50-70 years). It was created by Flávia Martins Gervásio and is available via paperswithcode.

Use Cases

• Predicting falls risk in older women based on spatiotemporal gait parameters like stride length and step width.
• Analyzing age-related changes in gait stability measures such as stance time and double support time.
• Training classifiers to differentiate between low and higher falls risk groups using functional measures like gait velocity.

Strengths

• Includes data from 35 healthy women, providing a specific sample for analysis.
• Compares two distinct age groups (20-40 and 50-70 years) for controlled study.
• Analyzes five spatiotemporal parameters for both right and left lower limbs.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The dataset is limited to healthy women, which may not generalize to other populations or men.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
