Hip Fractures Among Older Adults

- Each year at least 250,000 people aged 65 and older are hospitalized for hip fractures.
- More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling, usually by falling sideways.
- Women experience three-quarters of all hip fractures.

The hip fracture threshold of an elderly person is 3100N (+/- 1200N). The average force of the left and right Secure hip pads was 1366N and 1531 N respectively. The tailbone pad was 1841N. All pads reduced the force associated with a fall below the threshold fracture point.
