2021, Journal of BiomechanicsHip fracture risk functions for elderly men and women in sideways falls
2020, Journal of BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :Experimental testing of post-mortem human substitutes (PHMS) of the hip for sideways fall configuration has been used systematically with identical configurations in several studies resulting in a total of several hundred individual hip fracture force values for both elderly women and men (Cheng et al., 1997; Bouxsein et al., 1999; Manske et al., 2006; Bouxsein et al., 2007; de Bakker et al., 2009; Dragomir-Daescu et al., 2011; Grote et al., 2013; Nishiyama et al., 2013; Gilchrist et al., 2014; Johannesdottir et al., 2017). Women have been shown to have lower mean hip fracture loads than men in several of these studies (Cheng et al., 1997; Lochmüller et al., 2002; Manske et al., 2006; Bouxsein et al., 2007; Dragomir-Daescu et al., 2011; Johannesdottir et al., 2017) as well as in combined BMD-FE-analysis (Keyak et al., 2011; Nasiri and Luo, 2016) and in developing a female specific impact force equation (Sarvi and Luo, 2019). The objective is therefore to generate hip fracture force risk functions for elderly women and men in sideways falls which are as mathematically simple as possible, having as few parameters as possible, while accurately matching experimental data with high statistical power and satisfactory goodness of fit.
