Test-retest reliability of the FALL FIT system for assessing and training protective arm reactions in response to a forward fall
ABSTRACT: The use of the hands and arms is an important protective mechanism in avoiding fall-related injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability of fall dynamics and evokd protective arm response kinematics and kinetics in forward falls simulated using the FALL simulat...
