Forward fall is one of the most common causes of upper extremity fractures. Significant
factors influencing impact force and injuries were widely studied; however, it is necessary to …

In this paper we consider a 4-link model of a human for simulating a forward fall. The model
implemented in Mathematica is constructed based on a planar mechanical system with a …

Among fall-related injuries, scaphoid fracture accounts for 60% of all carpal fractures. Many
of these falls occur during daily life activities and can be avoided by establishing …

In this study we consider a 3-link biomechanical model of a human for simulating a forward
fall. Individual segments of the human body are modelled as rigid bodies connected by the …
