HipsaversHipSaver BioMedical Testing Hip Saver pads were tested at the Harvard affiliated labatory in 1996 and found to offer 10% better impact attenuation than a competitor using hard shell hip protector pads. HipSaver Clinical Study This study examines the results of a program at the Elder Service Plan of East Boston that used HipSavers for patients with histories of frequent falls to absorb and dissipate the energy transmitted in a fell to prevent hip fractures. Hip Protector Compliance Study This test was done using HipSaver Hip Protectors. Journal of the American Medical Directors Association The results of a 13 month long study were published in the Sept/Oct. 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association. HipSavers were written into the care plan of 38 at-risk residents. The study authors report an average 93% compliance rate for the duration of the study. Equally important, there were 126 falls among the HipSaver wearers and no hip fractures. The results are very significant since compliance is a major ingredient in the success of any hip protector program. Previous studies on hard-shell hip protectors have reported much lower compliance rates. Canadian Family Physician Do hip pads help prevent hip fractures?
