Could Martial Arts Training Help Prevent Fractures?
Recently there have been stories in the news about martial arts fall training to prevent fractures and we'd like to hear what you think about this. Does this sound like something that is feasible? Let us know.
A study of healthy volunteers suggests that teaching elderly patients how to fall may help them avoid bone fractures.
For obvious reasons the study used healthy individuals trained in martial arts to study the impact of the fall and how much force was involved which was measured with a device called a force platform...similar to a weighing machine. A thick mattress was positioned in front of the participants, so they weren't falling onto a hard surface.
