TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Muscle and bone health as a risk factor of fall among the elderly. Biomechanics of falling and fall-related fracture JO - Clinical calcium A1 - Okuizumi, Hiroyasu A1 - Harada, Atsushi SP - 754 EP - 760 VL - 18 IS - 6 N2 - Simulation of fall can predict the fall direction, impact load and location. This is effective measure for preventing falls in the elderly. Also, the 3D-finite element analysis used in measuring by micro CT, allows one to estimate bone strength and quality without numerous and expensive fracture testing of real human bones.
