29 fallers and 23 non- fallers (18M, mean age 70.9 years). |

Discrimination of fallers and non- fallers by using automated component timings and head positioning during turning. |
Wang et al. (2011) [53] |
7 healthy (age range 25- 88 years). |
2 calibrated digital cameras. |
180° turn time extracted from video exhibited a mean difference of 0.11 seconds compared with therapist times. |
