Biomechanics and Methodology for the Analysis of Injuries Related to Forensic Technical Correlations
Journal Title: International Journal of Forensic Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper describes the definition of biomechanics and methodologies to identify injuries, injury sources and injury causation. Different questions raised from the police, persecution, or judge needs special demands for analyzing traffic accident circumstances. Experts are educated for accident reconstruction, i.e. speed calculation and accident causation, but experts for injury assessment are very rare and most of the requests are answered by isolated involved experts. This concept can be optimized by interdisciplinary consultant groups, as exist in Germany. Biomechanics is the field explaining what kind and level of load is required for the injury pattern. Kind, location and injury severity is a key information for the understanding of injury severity and injury pattern and the movement trajectories called as kinematics. Based on the detailed information of injuries and existing pains related to the accident severity parameter, the probability of accident relation can be assessed by the experts
