Description
We aimed to develop a tool to predict the probability of hip fracture given a fall, using biofidelic finite element models (FEMs) built from DXA scans. Additionally, we evaluated the effectiveness of hip protectors, assuming full compliance, by quantifying the reduction in relative risk in-silico.
