Abstract Background If worn during a fall, hip protectors substantially reduce risk for hip fracture. However, a major barrier to their clinical efficacy is poor user adherence. In long-term care, adherence likely depends on how committed care provid

Background If worn, certain models of hip protectors are highly effective at preventing hip fractures from falls in residents of long-term care, but modest acceptance and adherence have limited the effectiveness of hip protectors. Residents of long-t

Objective: Incident reports guide fall prevention efforts in long-term care (LTC) facilities, often based on descriptions of how falls occurred. The validity of these reports is poorly understood. We examined agreement on fall characteristics between

Hip fractures are a major threat to healthy aging, often triggering declines in health, mobility, quality of life, and even death. Wearable hip protectors represent a promising strategy to prevent hip fractures, but uncertainty surrounding their effi

Background Fall-related injuries exert an enormous health burden on older adults in long-term care (LTC). Softer landing surfaces, such as those provided by low-stiffness “compliant” flooring, may prevent fall-related injuries by decreasing the f
