Abstract(in English) With progressing age certain health risks such as falling become both more likely and more life-threatening. One of the indicators to predict the risk of falling is leg muscle strength, which is traditionally measured by a trained physician. However, for continuous risk assessment, an approach that does not require any special tests is preferable. In order to pave the way for a purely video based analysis we analyzed the correlation between walking patterns that can be extracted from video material and leg muscle strength as well as imbalance, as those parameters are known to be directly connected to falls. We show that there are several parameters such as stride time or length that are correlated to leg muscle strength and thus might be suitable for risk assessment.
