one of the things that's happening in the Aging person of course is their brain is shrinking a little bit and their skull is not so presumably that's making them more susceptible uh they're going to have more movement to the brain within the head is that is that why we're seeing a greater susceptibility in an aging population in addition to the fact that they're obviously more susceptible to a fall I don't know it's a great Theory but yeah I mean obviously we see atrophy in that population Etc um and the other thing is there's a lot of unprotected Falls in that population it's a lot of sinkable events in that population uh and there's a lot less motor control when you do fall and so the mech the biomechanics are going to be more violent in that population and also cerebral spinal fluid is not as robust in that population so you don't have as much protection of the brain moving inside the skull either
