Abstract
Through the measurement and thresholding of different kinematic and angular signals, from the waist using accelerometry, distinguishing between simulated falls and normal scripted and continuous, unscripted activates was performed and evaluated using these signals. Different combinations of individual signal thresholding algorithms were used to compile a suite of Fall-detection algorithms suitable for an autonomous waist worn system.
