      ab: Part of a special section on falls and fall-related injuries suffered by aging people. The writers discuss the novel approach of using hip protectors to prevent fall-related fractures. Through their discussion on how hip protectors work, the design variations, efficacy and other benefits, and some practical concerns, they provide ample evidence to indicate that they can help prevent hip fractures among the aging. They contend that the protectors represent one important aspect of a comprehensive, evidence-based, fall-injury prevention program.
