How do you accurately determine the biomechanical mechanisms of injuries?
Using extensive resources, testing capabilities, and expertise, Exponent accurately reconstructs and analyzes the nature and magnitude of mechanical loading applied to the body in a wide array of human interactions with their surroundings. We equip clients with an understanding of the mechanisms necessary to cause many types of musculoskeletal and head injuries as well as relevant comparisons that make sense in a real-world context. Supporting capabilities include computer modeling studies and incident-specific simulations, when appropriate, to assess kinematics and response to applied loading.
Assessing the loads acting on the body often begins with analyzing the subject incident. In incidents involving motor vehicles, for example, a reconstruction is performed to determine vehicle dynamics and motions. This data is then used to evaluate the motions and loading experienced by the occupants, including interactions with restraints and vehicle structures. A specific understanding of occupant characteristics and medical history is often relevant to these evaluations.
