Abstract: The evaluation of the current state and examination of geriatric patients is a time consuming process for the medical staff and the patients. The independence of the geriatric patients is further reduced through the interruptions in their daily life caused by these examinations. One of these evaluation techniques is the so called Timed-Up and Go test (TUG). The test uses a simple sequence of motions to assess the fall risk of a person. Advances in the technology of wearable sensors and machine learning make it possible to automate these evaluation methods with a compact system. This paper continues the research that was already done in the fields of human activity recognition and automatic TUG detection and proposes a novel method for the automatic detection of the Timed-Up and Go without interrupting the daily life of the patients.
