Biomechanics

Services

We perform comprehensive analysis of injury causes related to human performance. We examine specific injuries and through reverse engineering applies the knowledge of the injury mechanism to determine the causes of the injuries, addressing the following questions:
• How did the injury occur?
• Is the injury consistent with the case information?
• What measures could have been taken to prevent injury?
• Were employee’s trained?
• Was there a defect in design?
• Were there any statutory violations?

Background

Biomechanics is the science of how the human body responds to applied external and internal forces. Injuries are caused by specific applied loads.

Major Causes

Falls
Vehicle Impacts
Pedestrian Impacts
Seat Belt Restraint Use in Vehicles
Air Bags and Air Curtains
