Figure 5. — Gait Cycle Time, double stance time and single stance time of Obese Fallers/Non-Fallers and Non-Obese participants and their linear variabilities such as standard deviation and Coefficient of variation

Note: Melzer et. al. using forceplates reported the elliptical area in fallers as 6.7±0.7 cm sq. and 5.6±0.3 cm sq. for nonfallers (Melzer, Benjuya, & Kaplanski, 2004). COP velocity was found as 2.4±0.1 cm/sec among fallers and 1.9 ±0.1 cm/sec among non-fallers(Melzer et al., 2004). The COP path length was found to be 47.3±2.8 cm in fallers and 38.9±1.1 cm in non-fallers. For the IMU: Similar values were reported using accelerometers, the sway velocity was found to be 3.5 cm/sec for eyes open condition in healthy individuals(Mayagoitia, Lotters, Veltink, & Hermens, 2002) and 1.5±0.9 cm/sec in fallers and 1.2±0.7 in nonfallers(Doheny et al., 2012). The sway path length was reported as 25.5±16.7 cm in non-fallers and 31±20.5 cm in fallers(Doheny et al., 2012).
