Abstract:

Abstract The present study examined whether people’s mental imagery of falling objects includes the acceleration due to the earth’s gravitational force. To investigate this question, we used two different tasks, a height estimation and a fall-time estimation task. In the height estimation task, participants were presented with different free-fall times and had to indicate the corresponding heights from which the object fell to the ground. In the fall-time estimation task, participants had to produce the fall time associated with free falls from different heights. In contrast to the law of free

Abstract:

Falls from height (FFH) represent a distinct form of blunt trauma in urban areas. This study aimed to identify independent predictors of in-hospital mortality after accidental or intentional falls in different age groups. We conducted a retrospective study of all patients consecutively admitted after a fall in eight years, recording mechanism, intentionality, height of fall, age, site, classification of injuries, and outcome. We built multivariate regression models to identify independent predictors of mortality. A total of 948 patients with 82 deaths were observed. Among the accidental falls,

Elderly patient falls are expensive and may cause serious harm. Studies have identified the sit-to-stand-and-walk (STSW) task as the task where the greatest number of elderly patient falls occur. There is a great need to identify the particular movement and environmental conditions that lead to these elderly patient falls. This study begins to address this gap by evaluating the elderly patient during self-selected hospital bed egress.

Abstract:

Vision-based fall-detection methods have been previously studied but many have limitations in terms of practicality. Due to differences in rooms, users do not set the camera or sensors at the same height. However, few studies have taken this into consideration. Moreover, some fall-detection methods are lacking in terms of practicality because only standing, sitting and falling are taken into account. Hence, this study constructs a data set consisting of various daily activities and fall events and studies the effect of camera/sensor height on fall-detection accuracy. Each activity in the data

Abstract:

Introduction: In occupational settings, the most common type of fatal accident is fall from a height. The skull, brain, spinal cord and extremities are the most commonly injured systems. Falls from more than 20 feet have historically been triaged to trauma centers but even low-level falls can cause serious head injuries and death. Objectives: The objective of this study was to find out the pattern of injuries and related medico-legal issues among the victims of fall from height. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted among the victims of fall from height at Dhaka Medical College morgu

Abstract:

The article discusses two types of systems developed at CIOP-PIB, which enable the identification of human falls from a height. The operation of the first system is based on an accelerometric measuring system implemented in the hip belt, which is an element of the equipment protecting against falls from a height. The operation of the second system is based on the analysis of the recorded video. The methods and results of calibration and verification tests of both designed systems, which were used for the preliminary tests, were presented. During these tests, the participant performed specific

Abstract:

This article deals with the problem of falls from heights and their consequences for human health and life. Falls from height of an employee is the most frequent cause of an accident. In the Russian Federation every third or fourth serious accident occurs due to a fall from a high object. This fact confirms the need for a systematic approach to ensuring the safety of work at height. Statistics of the World Health Organization and the Federal Service for Labor and Employment on falls as a significant public health problem and the most common types of accidents in Russia are presented.

Abstract:

To gain insight into the evolution of flower traits in the generalized food-deceptive plant Iris pumila, we assessed the color, size, shape, and fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of three functionally distinct floral organs—outer perianths (‘falls’), inner perianths (‘standards’), and style branches—and estimated pollinator-mediated selection on these traits. We evaluated the perianth color as the achromatic brightness of the fall, measured the flower stem height, and analyzed the floral organ size, shape, and FA using geometric morphometrics. Pollinated flowers had significantly higher brightness, l

Abstract:

Despite our growing understanding of the importance of fall mechanics in the etiology of hip fracture, previous studies have largely ignored the kinematics and dynamics of falls from standing height. Beginning from basic principles, we estimated peak impact force on the greater trochanter in a sideways fall from standing height. Using a one degree-of-freedom impact model, this force is determined by the impact velocity of the hip, the effective mass of that part of the body that is moving prior to impact, and the overall stiffness of the soft tissue overlying the hip. To determine impact veloc

Abstract:

Background Falls are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in society, particularly among the aged and young. There has been research to describe the epidemiology of these types of events, but to date there has been few correlations of clinical brain injury outcomes and metrics used in biomechanical research; parameters often used to help develop protective devices and environments. The purpose of this research was to examine the kinematic characteristics of falls from standing and higher heights in an effort to understand how clinical brain injury is predicted by biomechanical injury metr

Abstract:

In the construction industry, fall accidents are a critical form of accident. This research examines fall accidents in formwork operations that occurred between 1995 and 2015. This study examines the different dimensions of fall incidents, such as the level of severity of formwork activities, fall height and causes of falls using the 205 construction industry accidents reported in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) database, a regulatory agency in the USA. The findings revealed that most fall incidents occur at the height of less than 9.1 m (30 ft), mostly due to unprotec
