Did you know that the most common cause of vessel loss in 2013, and for the last 12

spot an energy storage system. If not yet, then soon. These systems can be used

that they can be used within urban areas – improving the reliability of local grids. As

Biomechanics:
What is Biomechanics? Biomechanics is an applied science encompassing the disciplines
of both biology and mechanics. It specifically utilizes the laws of physics and concepts
relevant to both engineering and medicine to describe human motion and those forces
acting upon limbs, joints and vital organs. The science historically has provided valuable
applications in cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, orthopedic, industrial and
rehabilitative medicine, automotive medicine, sports medicine, and cellular mechanics,
injury mechanisms related to human acceleration and/or impact trauma, and sports
protective equipment. The science of biomechanics incorporates the combined
disciplines of human anatomy and physiology with basic mechanics, along with the
understanding of human motion to determine the causal relationship of applied
forces/accelerations and/or impacts on the nature and severity of physical injury.
National Forensic Consultants has a biomechanics expert who specializes in injury
mechanics and causation relating to impacts. Additional expertise includes orthopedic
and industrial biomechanics with specific expertise in analyzing injuries related to high-
and low-speed motor vehicle impacts; occupational injuries; lifting, pushing and pulling
injury; slip-trip & fall injuries and injuries related to sports and sports equipment. He also
has experience in providing biomechanical consultations in criminal courts on matters
pertaining to murder, manslaughter, child & elder abuse, assault, police brutality and
