BIOMECHANICAL
ENGINEERING & INJURY

A biomechanical investigation bridges the gap between medicine and engineering. More specifically, it provides an understanding of human interaction with the environment as well as the mechanics of movement. By understanding injuries and comparing them to the context and magnitude of the forces at play, our injury biomechanics experts can analyze a variety of scenarios to determine not only whether the reported injury is consistent with the mechanism, but also whether something could have been done differently to yield a different outcome.

EXPERTISE YOU CAN COUNT ON

Our biomechanical engineers understand the mechanisms that produce injuries, and have the skills to compare them to the events that reportedly precipitated them.

Following a motor vehicle crash, we use information from collision reconstructions to compare reported and expected injuries. For slip, trip, and falls, we examine building codes to ensure compliance, while checking for environmental factors such as ice, precipitation, or lighting. Our forensic injury biomechanics investigations provide clear, effective results.

WE BRIDGE SCIENCE AND MEDICINE

In order to understand the injuries sustained during an incident, we bridge the gap between the diagnostic approach of medicine and the mechanics of how the human body moves. Whether we are looking at occupants in a motor vehicle collision, the slipperiness of a floor, improper equipment design, or a product malfunction, our injury causation analysis can ensure that the reported injuries are consistent with the incident. Correlating injuries to the mechanics of an event can confirm or refute a story, helping our clients make informed decisions when it matters most.
