A mannequin is an inanimate and completely motionless creature that can be the ideal participant for evaluating the validity and reliability of Bodiometer posture screening apps.
In the first phase of our current research project at the University of Calgary to evaluate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of Bodiometer, we repeat the tests many times while we are sure that the mannequin does not move at all.
For calculating the inter-rater reliability of Bodiometer, 5 different raters evaluate the posture. Raters do posture screening in their normal comfortable position with iPad and iPhone in their hands.
For evaluating the intra-rater reliability, each rater repeats each measurement three times, 3 minutes apart.
Although a mannequin is not an actual participant in evaluating our app's validity and reliability, utilizing it in the first phase of this research provides insights that Bodiometer apps are valid and reliable for an utterly motionless participant. However, it is necessary to test Bodiometer apps on humans as the actual users of Bodiometer, which will be implemented in the next phase of this research project.

Fall prevention is one of the most critical issues related to older adults' health. Although it is not possible to prevent falls completely, exercises focusing on balance and muscle strength can reduce the risk of falling.
The suggested exercises are intended for older adults with a low risk of falls who can stand and walk independently without any support from others.
It is recommended that older adults do these exercises in the presence of a caregiver, close to a wall or chair and in a safe environment.
Always ask your therapist before starting new exercises, especially if you have weak balance.
