Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The investigators aim to study which measurements/definitions from continuous blood pressures measurements (using a Finometer) and from cerebral oxygenation measurements (using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)) are associated with future fall incidents in older adults at risk of falls.
