I am trying to publish papers related to method presented in an article attached to this question. It is The method to evaluate the susceptibility to injuries during the fall – validation procedure of the specific motor test. But reviewers decline it because they did not recognize this test as valid, although presented article is validation procedure.
I am teaching patients with mental disability safe falls technique for backward fall. This test is designed to measure probability of injuries of different body parts based on method how someone is laying down. Better outcome should indicate that there is lesser probability of injuries. Patients with mental disorders are hard to test so full battery of different tests are almost impossible, but this one is acceptable by them as it is covered in motor task similar to exercises.
Can I have honest opinion about this test and maybe someone know which journal accepts studies like that?

Thank you very much. I also have one patient with EDS. He is 6 year old kid. I have impression that he is developing poorly in the mental area. The article that you present indicates that every time, injury trauma is bigger for him than normal. Can frequent falls and sometimes hitting head to the ground, have impact of brain trauma and his development in Your opinion?
Thank your for your mail.
Generally, they are very intelligent but they can have cognitions problems (memory of work, attention, concentration, localisation in space and difficulties of learning. We work with the pedo psychitrist about that. The EDS is hereditary and one of his parrents, brother and sister has also EDS. With the pr. Fredy neuro radilogist, we think that many symptoms are the consequence of falls. A n head protection is perhaps necessary. The use of feet orthesis, of special compressive clothes prevent falls.
We know about orthesis, but can you add link to example of this special compressive clothes? Yes, his brother is asparger like with EDS and mother is under diagnosis. Thank you, I do not know about influence of head trauma, this is very helpful information.
