Kinematics of Falling Injury prevention is one of the most significant driving forces for the study of biomechanics. Understanding what causes people to get injured allows us to design better, safer products and systems that make injury less likely. While relatively new, the kinematic study of falls and maintaining stability is an important area in injury prevention. This is especially relevant to the elderly, who fall at a much higher rate than the average population. According to one study, 32%

employee of this company is of primary importance. Prevention of occupationally-induced injury or illness shall always be given precedence over operating productivity. Our objective is a safety and health program that will enable us to eliminate occupational related injuries and illnesses. It is the intent of this company to comply with all laws.

Implementing cross training modalities as a form of injury prevention is a common practice among endurance runners. Lower extremity injury rates among runners have been observed at rates between 19.4% and 79.3% annually, specifically categorized as chronic overuse injuries (van Gent, et al., 2007; Hoeberigs, J.H., 1992). Additionally, it is suggested that approximately 60% of chronic injuries can be attributed to increasing training volume too suddenly (Hreljac, 2004). It has been thought that multiple

aforementioned frameworks. Take for example van Mechelen’s injury prevention model. This theory has initiated works seeking to expand, develop and improve upon it. This interpretive process is loosely carried forward in relation to the previous studies of physiology, sociology and psychology. Take for example psychology when looking at key issues and research methods. The general explorative path a psychologist would investigate in a study of injury and rehabilitation covers, motivation, confidence, intensity

facilitate patients' ability to make decisions, so that patients actively participate so that their health problems. This study was aimed at to help nurses to understand how patients could involve in their health issue in particular pressure injury prevention (PIP). It also helps researchers develop their knowledge and improve existing and future strategies of PIP.
