Frequently biomechanical engineers are the best experts to address and explain the entire range of trauma of an injured person, because they are not focused solely on the injury. Rather, they look at the internal and external forces that created the trauma. This includes the event itself, as well as objects involved, such as vehicles, tools, machines or weapons. They also consider the post event stresses of rehabilitation, and the implications of patient non-compliance. Human biomechanical data is generated by measuring and mathematical modeling activities. Biomechanical engineering is a vital aspect of many types of cases, including, but not limited to, vehicle collisions, slip and falls, sports and recreational injuries, medical devices, consumer and commercial products, industrial and construction injuries, as well as burns and scalding.
Injury patterns tell a story about the injury event motion (or kinetics) as well as the magnitude and direction of the force. Traditional mechanical analyses are used to determine external forces applied to the body or vehicle and biomechanical analyses are used to determine the internal forces and reactions of the human body to the external and internal forces.
