Real-world validation of a smartphone-based gait centric fall risk assessment system in skilled nursing facilities

Falls remain a leading cause of injury in skilled nursing settings, yet consistently identifying high-risk patients remains a challenge. New research reveals that in environments with complex clinical and operational dynamics, traditional screening methods often fall short.

OneStep’s Fall Risk Assessment (FRA) system moves beyond single-metric testing. By enhancing traditional methods — such as the Timed Up and Go (TUG), Sit-to-Stand (STS), and patient-reported fear of falling — with advanced gait analysis, the system translates complex data into one clinically interpretable measure.
