The Biomechanical Engineering Team uses engineering and biomedical science to explore the influence of forces to the human body; the cause, nature and extent of reported injuries. Examination of medical records, forensic pathology reports, photographs, x-rays, and other relevant sources can compile the type, severity and distribution of injuries,. The configuration of injuries can then be used to reconstruct the forces, motions, and events that must have occurred to produce the injuries. Additional analysis of human dynamics, using computer models (MATYMO), data from literature, and test results can add to the analysis by describing the human’s role in an accident, from exposure, vulnerability, probability of occurrence, and survivability. Additional capabilities are in evaluating the designs and effects of biomedical devices, such as stents, catheters, and prosthesis.
