Applied BioMechanics specializes in
providing engineering and scientific consulting in the area of
accident reconstruction, injury biomechanics, and related
disciplines. Our key practice area is the analysis of
accidents - to determine "what happened" in an
accident.
 
In automobile accidents, Applied BioMechanics
analyzes available witness accounts and physical evidence,
such as skid marks and property damage, reconstructs the
interaction between the involved vehicles, and then analyzes
the dynamics of the occupants during the collision. The
resulting data on force and motion, when compared with known
human tolerance, forms the basis to determine the mechanism of
injury. With this information at hand, one can then
analyze the "what-if" scenarios, such as the
expected injury outcome had an unrestrained occupant been
using a seat belt during the crash.
In addition to analyzing automobile
accidents, Applied BioMechanics also performs accident
reconstruction and biomechanical analysis in other
environments, including the following:
- Vehicular accidents, such as
bicycle, motorcycle, pedestrian, and heavy truck accidents
- Recreational accidents, such as
skiing accidents
- Work-related incidents, such as machinery
accidents
- Orthopedic devices, such as
hip prosthesis failure analysis
- Explosion accidents
- Fall accidents (slip, trip and
falls, and falls from height)
- Mechanical design analysis
and evaluation
