1. 1. Development of a Fall-Injury Reducing Flooring System in Geriatric Care : with focus on improving the models used in the biomechanical simulations and evaluating the first test area

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

   Författare :Julianne Okan; [2015]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Fall accidents are the type of accident in Sweden that cause most deaths, the largest number of hospitalizations, and most visits to the emergency room. The elderly are overrepresented in the statistics and with the aging population the costs are increasing. LÄS MER

3. 2. Evaluation of a Flooring System to Help Reduce Fall-Related Injuries among Elderly : A Compilation of Requirements together with Hip Impact Simulations, using a Computational Human Body Model

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

   Författare :Sofia Dahlgren; [2014]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Fall-related incidents are the most common cause of injury among elderly, and may result in hip fractures. Svein Kleiven and Hans von Holst, professors at the Royal Institute of Technology, have developed a technology for a compliant flooring system with the intention of reducing the peak force acting on the proximal femur during a fall.
