  • Abstract
    The causes analyzing for the falls is given in order to improve the quality of life of older persons, and reduce the incidence of elder falls. Then the appropriate and effective intervention for the elder are given. The fall over themselves and the injury are serious problems for elder, which often occur in the process of walking, the impediment of balance. The gait of the fall reason for the older people is considered. The analysis of centre of body weight with walking and the gait is done. Based on the results of analysis, the kinematics and dynamics is derived. It is the necessary research for aging or pathological changes, which affect the walking ability among older people.
