  • Ensuring safety when inducing falls in the lab

    In absence of performing a DEXA scan and/or physical screening, what criteria have been used to minimize risk when inducing falls in the lab? Specifically, what inclusion/exclusion have been used to minimize the risk of bone fracture as a result of excessive harness loading as well as to minimize the risk of injury to the joints? Information from specific citations and, if possible, language from IRB-approved protocols would be most helpful.
