dc.description.abstract | A significant number of children suffer injuries from falls. The current measures of
prevention and education regarding falls are not sufficient, as falling is still the main cause of injury
at this age. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of injury during a backward fall and assess the effect
of the Safe Fall training program on this risk. 457 primary school children between the ages of 6 and
12 (mean age of 9) were enrolled in a 6-week randomized intervention. The program was carried out
during physical education classes and consisted of an intervention group that followed the Safe Fall
training program and a control group that was given equilibrium exercises. The risk of injury was
assessed before and after the implementation using the Information Scale on Safe Ways of Falling
observation scale, evaluating the responses of five different body parts (head, hip, knees, upper limbs
and back). Students’ natural response to falls was associated with a high risk of injury in more than
90% of the cases. The implementation of the Safe Fall program resulted in a considerable decrease in
this risk, with percentages lowered to levels between 8.7% and 18.3%. | es |
