The prevention of fractures amongst older people consists of (i) prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, (ii) prevention of falling and (iii) prevention of fractures using injury-site protection. As the great majority of hip fractures are caused by a sideways fall with direct impact on the greater trochanter of the proximal femur, one approach to prevention is the use of an adequately configu...
متن کاملBiomechanical comparison of hard and soft hip protectors, and the influence of soft tissue.
INTRODUCTION Hip protectors appear to be promising in preventing hip fractures. Currently, many different hip protectors exist, and it is not clear which hip protector has the best biomechanical properties. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare the force attenuation capacity of 10 different hip protectors. Both hard hip protectors, which primarily shunt away energy, and soft hip...
متن کاملPreventing fractures with hip protectors.
Hip protectors are an effective strategy for reducing fall-related hip fractures in long-term care settings. The success of a hip protector program is enhanced by educational activities and administrative support, and a nurse champion to assume responsibility for the hip protector program.
