Smart Wearable Technologies for Balance Rehabilitation in Older Adults at Risk of Falls: Scoping Review and Comparative Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Falls among older adults are a significant public health concern, often leading to severe injuries, decreased quality of life, and substantial health care costs. Smart wearable technologies for balance rehabilitation present a promising avenue for addressing the falls epidemic, capable of providing detailed objective movement data, engaging visuals, and real-time feedback. With the recent and rapid evolution of innovative technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR), and motion tracking, there is a need to evaluate the market to identify the most effective and accessible smart balance systems currently available.

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the current landscape of smart wearable technology systems
