Subject-specific rigid body dynamic (RBD) models calibrated to video captured falls can quantify impact forces and provide additional insights into injury risk factors. RBD models were developed based on five backward falls captured on surveillance video in long-term care facilities in British Columbia, Canada. Model joint stiffness and initial velocities were calibrated to match the kinematics of the fall and contact forces were calculated. The effect of joint stiffnesses (neck, lumbar spine, hip, and knee joint) on head contact forces were determined by modifying the calibrated stiffness values \u00b125%. Fall duration, fall trajectories, and maximum velocities showed a close match between fall events and simulations. The maximum value of pelvic velocity difference between Kinovea (an open-source software 2D digitization software) and Madymo multibody modeling was found to be 6%\u2009\u00b1\u200921.58%. Our results demonstrate that neck and hip stiffness values have a non-significant yet large effect on head contact force ( t(3)\u2009=\u20091, p\u2009=\u20090.387 and t(3)\u2009=\u20092, p\u2009=\u20090.138), while lower effects were observed for knee stiffness, and the effect of lumbar spine stiffness was negligible. The subject-specific fall simulations constructed from real world video captured falls allow for direct quantification of force outcomes of falls and may have applications in improving the assessment of fall-induced injury risks and injury prevention methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/09544119231207653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,16]],"date-time":"2023-11-16T03:53:15Z","timestamp":1700106795000},"page":"1275-1286","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Impact forces in backward falls: Subject-specific video-based rigid body simulation of backward falls"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"237","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5114-8775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Khorami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechatronic Systems Engineering, Simon Fraser University, Surrey, BC, Canada"},{"name":"International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Numaira","family":"Obaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechatronic Systems Engineering, Simon Fraser University, Surrey, BC, Canada"},{"name":"International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Bhatnagar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Ayoub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechatronic Systems Engineering, Simon Fraser University, Surrey, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steve N","family":"Robinovitch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5524-4577","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carolyn J","family":"Sparrey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechatronic Systems Engineering, Simon Fraser University, Surrey, BC, Canada"},{"name":"International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/17.6.365"},{"key":"bibr2-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.2005.011015"},{"key":"bibr3-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HTR.0000000000000093"},{"key":"bibr4-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4236\/jbise.2014.77043"},{"key":"bibr5-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbiomech.2015.02.025"},{"key":"bibr6-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbiomech.2010.09.011"},{"key":"bibr7-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e31817bab05"},{"key":"bibr8-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e31823ecae0"},{"key":"bibr9-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/desc.13069"},{"key":"bibr10-09544119231207653","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Holliday P, Fernie G, Gryfe C, et al.
