Biomechanics is the study of the actions and reactions of the human body under various sets of circumstances. This can include assessing the forces during a motor vehicle accident, analyzing the motions that occur during a trip event, determining the injury mechanisms present during an accident, and evaluating how the laws of physics relate to specific types of injuries. Biomechanical analysis also identifies and quantifies forces on the body as well as how an individual’s living tissue reacts to these forces, with the goal of understanding how injuries occur. This includes the use of testing, simulations, and studies to understand both the magnitudes of forces on the body during an accident and the manner in which these forces are applied.
Qforensics’ biomechanical team can assist in a wide variety of matters, including:
- Automobile & Tractor-Trailer Collisions
- Occupant & Pedestrian Kinematics
- Bicycle, Motorcycle, and Pedestrian Accidents
- Boats, RV & ATV Accidents
- Slip, Trip & Fall Investigations
- Workplace Accidents
- Theme Parks & Recreation Facility Accidents
- Retail Facility Accidents
- Medical Device Failure
- Sporting & Exercise Equipment Accidents
Our biomechanical engineers expertly analyze motions and forces from accidents, they also simplify complex mechanical concepts, enabling clients and juries to grasp the intricacies of injury consistency, causation, and comparative situations. This clear and persuasive communication not only enhances understanding but also empowers informed decision-making in critical cases.
