The finite element model discussed in this study is shown to capture experimentally observed trends in peak femoral neck force reduction as a function of flooring design parameters and indicates that a floor can be designed that deflects minimally during walking and reduces the peak force on the Femoral neck during a fall-related impact by 15.2 percent.
