Optimization of a Pre-impact Fall Detection Algorithm and Development of Hip Protection Airbag System

In this study, a pre-impact fall detection algorithm using a custom-made inertial sensor was optimized, and a spring-trigger airbag system was developed for preventing injuries from falls. Four different types of simulated falls were performed by 20 healthy volunteers (age 23.4 ± 4.4 years), and six...
