PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF RESTRICTION OF ACITIVTY IN OLD PEOPLE AFTER FALLS
Abstract
The levels of activity of two populations of fall victims (at home and in an institution) were studied before and then 6 months after an apparently minor fall, in comparison with a control group. The fall victims had a lower level of activity than the controls. They walked less indoors, and found it more difficult to get out. These differences may be considered predictive factors for falls. It was also found that the falls resulted in a restriction of activity and appear to be a factor that aggravates and accelerates the effects of ageing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
