Falls cause over 95% of hip fractures. Our new publication described how fall biomechanics affect hip fracture risk in long-term care, based on video analysis of real-life falls. Thx to partner @Fraserhealth & funders @msfhr @AGEWELL_NCE @CIHR_IRSC @SFU https://t.co/yIZhdKsHPH

Are people who fall more often at lower risk for injury? Check out this study from @KimvanSchooten, @yyang1312, F. Feldman, M. Leung, @DrHeatherMcKay, @joaniesimsgould & S. Robinovitch to find out. The results may surprise you!
