Fall is, however, preventable with regularly risk factor assessing and appropriate muscle training. Since prolonged monitor of physical activity (PA) provides evidences to the tendency of health and predictive of risk of falling, a personal PA monitoring system is desirable to record all daytime activities. Our objective is to develop a system to evaluate the risk of fall for adults with intellectual disability in a nursing home.
