The effect of positioning on the biomechanical performance of soft shell hip protectors

Abstract Wearable hip protectors represent a promising strategy for reducing risk for hip fracture from a sideways fall. However, small changes in pad positioning may influence their protective benefit. Using a mechanical hip impact simulator, we investigated how three marketed soft shell hip protec...
