Association of lower-limb strength with different fall histories or prospective falls in community-dwelling older people: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Ringo Tang-Long Zhu, Jenny Jing-Jing Zuo, Ke-Jing Li, Freddy Man Hin Lam, Arnold Yu Lok Wong, Lin Yang, Xue Bai, Man Sau Wong, Timothy Kwok, Yong-Ping Zheng, Christina Zong-Hao Ma

“…Tests of entire lower-limb power required the cumulative and coordinated contractions of more leg muscles, possibly explaining why they could identify the fallers whereas the RTD or power of a single muscle group could not. Future studies are warranted to determine cut-point values of the entire lower-limb power measurements in fall-risk assessment and explore rapid force generation of a single muscle group in predicting the injurious falls among older adults. …”

Physically based modelling of glacier evolution under climate change in the tropical Andes by J. D. Mackay, J. D. Mackay, N. E. Barrand, D. M. Hannah, E. Potter, E. Potter, N. Montoya, W. Buytaert

“…Studies to date have typically adopted empirical models of the surface energy balance and ice flow to simulate glacier evolution under climate change, but these may miss important non-linearities in future glacier mass changes. We combine two globally capable modelling codes that provide a more physical representation of these processes:(i) the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES), which solves the full energy balance of snow and ice, and (ii) the Open Global Glacier Model (OGGM), which solves a flowline representation of the shallow-ice equation to simulate ice flow. …”
