This study evaluates the screening accuracy of a device (OAK) in assessing fall risk in the
elderly, compared to the assessment provided by the Algorithm for Fall Risk Assessment of
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The OAK device is a technologic system, based on virtual reality. It allows to quickly
perform a fall risk assessment integrating clinical indexes of the Brief-BESTest (The
Balance Evaluation System Test), and kinematic and posturgraphic indexes. The participants
interact with the OAK device through simple exercises, then the device provides an
assessment of their functional mobility, equilibrium and postural reactions.
