Fall risk video analysis for mobility and postural sway studies

Use standard clinic or lab video to measure gait speed, turn time, chair-rise movement, and postural sway during fall-risk research visits.

Study measures

What the camera can measure

These outputs are designed for study comparison, rater review, and statistical analysis. They are not diagnostic claims.

Timed Up and Go duration

task start, stand, walk, turn, return, and sit timestamps

Turn time and steps

trunk rotation, foot contacts, and path reversal

Postural sway path

center-of-body motion during quiet stance

Chair-rise timing

trunk angle and hip/knee extension over repetitions

Study setup

Build the task around your protocol

ConductVision works best when the task, camera setup, annotations, and export fields are defined before the first participant visit.

  • assistive device
  • fall history group
  • visit number
  • surface condition

Export fields

  • phase durations
  • gait speed
  • turn time
  • sway path

What is established

Timed mobility, sit-to-stand, gait speed, and balance tasks are widely used in fall-risk and geriatric mobility research.

What ConductVision quantifies

ConductVision measures the timing and visible movement signals behind those tasks so researchers can compare participants, groups, visits, and interventions.

What still needs validation

Cut points, fall-risk classification, and clinical thresholds require validation in the study population and camera setup.

Data export

Reviewable data for analysis teams

Exports are built for study notebooks, statistical analysis, and rater review. The video remains available for audit when the protocol allows it.

Scientific context for the task family

These links point to the measurement areas researchers commonly use when validating a protocol.

Research-use measurement note

ConductVision outputs are research-use measurements unless a customer has completed their own clinical validation, regulatory review, and intended-use controls. The study team remains responsible for consent, privacy, camera calibration, rater review, and clinical interpretation.
