The role of fall biomechanics in the cause and prevention of bone fractures in older adults

V Komisar, SN Robinovitch - Current osteoporosis reports, 2021 - Springer
Abstract Purpose of Review Adults over age 65 experience the highest rates of bone
fracture, and 90% of fractures in older adults are caused by falls from standing height or …
