An Analysis of the Effect of Lower Extremity Strength on Impact Severity During a Backward Fall

Reuben Sandler, Stephen Robinovitch
Journal: Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
Publisher: ASME
Article Type: Technical Papers
J Biomech Eng. December 2001, 123(6): 590–598.

Published Online: May 16, 2001
...Reuben Sandler; Stephen Robinovitch At least 280,000 hip fractures occur annually in the U.S., at an estimated cost of $9 billion. While over 90 percent of these are caused by falls, only about 2 percent of all falls result in hip fracture. Evidence suggests that the most important determinants...
