Abstract

Falls are one of main causes of unintentional injuries. Measuring risk of injury caused by a fall is principal basis in teaching safe fall techniques to reduce such risk. There were several studies which measures risk of injuries caused by fall by susceptibility test of body injuries during a fall (STBIDF). All available works which involves measuring participants by STBIDF were collected and screened. 527 participants in 18 different groups were tested. The lowest indicator were noticed in group of karate athletes on advanced level (SBIDF = 0.2), while the highest value were shown by group of people with intellectual disability (SBIDF = 11.12). Overall risk of injury level of tested people is high. Lower risk is connected to physical activity and experience in martial arts. Higher risk of injury is connected with low physical activity level and co-occurrence of different forms of disabilities.
