The Influence of Novel Compliant Flooring Systems on Impact Dynamics during Simulated Impacts to the Back of the Head
نویسندگان
چکیده
Novel compliant flooring systems are a promising approach for reducing fall-related injuries in older adults based on evidence of substantial force reduction during simulated falls on the hip and minimal influence on balance and mobility. In this study we observed force and acceleration attenuation of up to 80% provided by these products relative to a padded carpet during simulated head impacts.

متن کاملThe influence of novel compliant floors on balance control in elderly women--A biomechanical study.
Novel compliant floors aim to decrease the risk for fall-related injury by providing substantial force attenuation during the impact phase of falls. Certain models of compliant flooring have been shown to have limited influence on postural sway and successful completion of dynamic balance tasks. However, the effects of these products on balance recovery mechanisms following an externally induce...
متن کاملQuantification of the trade-off between force attenuation and balance impairment in the design of compliant safety floors.
Safety floors (also known as compliant floors) may reduce the risk of fall-related injuries by attenuating impact force during falls, but are only practical if they do not negatively affect balance and mobility. In this study, we evaluated seven safety surfaces based on their ability to attenuate peak femoral neck force during simulated hip impacts, and their influence on center of pressure (CO...
