Comparison of the studies in the literature with our study.

Study Differences Compared to Our Study Advantages of Our Study
[45] The study is related to the fall risk assessment, and our research is associated with the analysis of the performance of the Timed-Up and Go test for the creation of patterns by age, disease, and institution. Our study proved that a relation between diseases related to mobility and the performance of the Timed-Up and Go test exists, allowing the creation of different patterns with the inertial sensors.
[49] The study identified the different phases of Timed-Up and Go sensors. The authors also calculated the Minimal Detectable Change based on the speed, where we identified the various stages, and measured the force, power, and acceleration of the movement. The older adults sometimes performed more force and power than the other population. The measurement of these parameters is vital to identify the reliability of the test in the different repetitions.
[32] The study tracks the different stages of the Timed-Up and Go test, and the angles of the knee and ankle. Our study identified the different phases and made other measurements. Our study is focused on older adults that commonly have different pathologies, performing different measurements and relationships between diseases.
[67] The authors implemented machine learning methods for the distribution of the individuals in different groups to cluster the types of diseases. Our study performed the analysis of the different features extracted with a focus on the diseases related to the movement.
