Abstract
Shock absorbing flooring which known as compliant flooring as well is a technology for injury reduction in seniors. It is a type of secure pavement oriented to decrease the hardness of the ground and the impact force applied to the body parts that hit the ground. Consequently such floorings decrease fall-related injury in care homes and play grounds. We investigated 4 types of compliant flooring and 10 types shock absorbing model as they described in their technical sheet, for about one month in a senior home in Barcelona. This research classified in two levels of practical tests directly on floorings in order to compare their housing facility properties and in second level the participants include seniors and staffs of the center were interviewed about the current flooring of the center and proposed compliant floorings. Some of the compliant floorings were collected from gym or sport areas, playground and some vinyl flooring with shock absorption property with different thickness. It is notable to mention that underlay and overlay of the flooring must complete each other. Compliant flooring must be soft in case of fall but stiff enough to not to impair walking.
