    Dizziness and vertigo are significant risk factors for falls, particularly in neurologic and neuroorthopedic populations.

  • 2

    Access to established diagnostic tools for balance and gait assessment is limited due to cost and technical complexity.

  • 3

    The proposed framework integrates smartphone-based vestibular function and gait stability assessment using near-infrared eye tracking and IMU-based motion analysis.

  • 4

    The framework outlines methods for extracting oculomotor and biomechanical features to support fall-related screening.

  • 5

    This work provides a structured methodological foundation for future studies on smartphone-based screening for balance impairments.
