滑倒事故的原因，无论是外在因素还是内在因素，以及它们之间的联系，目前还没有完全了解。减少滑倒事故的成功干预方案需要对所涉及的机制有更全面的了解。在实施有效的跌倒预防策略之前，检查事故中的事件链是至关重要的，包括暴露于危险、事件的开始和导致伤害和残疾的最终结果。这些事件可以通过应用流行病学、心理物理学、生物力学和摩擦学的研究原理和方法有效地识别和分析。在这篇文章中，提出了各种可用于检查跌倒事故及其潜在机制的方法，以提供全面的信息，以帮助确定旨在降低日益增长的老年人跌倒风险的新干预措施的需求和要求。(C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
The causes of slip and fall accidents, both in terms of extrinsic and intrinsic factors and their associations are not yet fully understood. Successful intervention solutions for reducing slip and fall accidents require a more complete understanding of the mechanisms involved. Before effective fall prevention strategies can be put into practice, it is central to examine the chain of events in an accident, comprising the exposure to hazards, initiation of events and the final outcome leading to injury and disability. These events can be effectively identified and analyzed by applying epidemiological, psychophysical, biomechanical and tribological research principles and methodologies. In this manuscript, various methods available to examine fall accidents and their underlying mechanisms are presented to provide a comprehensive array of information to help pinpoint the needs and requirements of new interventions aimed at reducing the risk of falls among the growing elderly population.
