The problem of human falls, particularly among the elderly, is one that can result in serious injuries, such as a soft tissue injury or a bone fracture, or even result in death depending on the severity of the accident.
The purpose of this study's goal was to find out the factors that may have a significant impact on the severity of fall injury as a result of a fall, and how these factors may influence the severity of the fall injury. In an investigation that we conducted, we investigated soft tissue stiffness that may play a significant role in determining the extent of injury sustained during a fall or any collision such as machine-human impact during a fall or collision for a variety of impact velocities during a fall or collision.
It is highly likely that the upper arm will be damaged during a lateral fall or a second impact during a forward fall. Soft tissue stiffness in the upper arm was measured using a pendulum during a subject-based experiment. Soft tissue deformation and impacts can be measured using force sensors and ultrasonic technology.
As a result of this study, we were able to demonstrate that different impact velocities result in different changes in the stiffness behavior of nonlinear soft tissues. In addition, we used a variety of indentation impactors to obtain the behavior of the stiffness of soft tissues during the impact of the impactor.
