Biomechanics of Impact
Injury and Injury Tolerances of the Extremities
Stanley H. Backaitis, April 1996, 6
Sections, 887 Pages, Hardbound
$40.00
Biomechanics of Impact Injury and Injury Tolerances of the Extremities is the fourth and last of a series of books published each year since 1993 on the technical aspects of trauma to various segments of the human body in automotive crashes. This book contains 54 papers that provide the best selection of landmark research on the fundamentals of human lower and upper extremities and the biomechanics of injury and injury tolerances to these body segments.
Covering 1968 through 1995, the papers were chosen by a panel of internationally distinguished scientists and researchers in the field of impact injury and biomechanics related to the extremities. Because injuries to arms are becoming of significant concern in air bag accidents, a special paper was written to provide coverage on the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system of human shoulders and arms.
Six sections cover:
-
Anatomy, Physiology, and Biomechanical Characteristics of Lower Limbs in Vehicle Collisions
-
Kinematics, Biomechanical Impact Response, and Injury Tolerance of Femurs, Knees, and Tibia-Fibula Complex
-
Biomechanical Impact Response and Impact Tolerance of Ankles and Feet
-
Biomechanical Response of Lower Limbs and Impact Tolerance of Pedestrians and Motorcyclists in Automotive Accidents
-
Mechanical and Analytical Simulations of Lower Limbs Kinematics and Impact Responses
-
Musculoskeletal Structure of the Upper Extremities and Their Injuries in Air Bag Deployment Accidents
Scientists, engineers, accident investigators, physicians, and researchers in the field of impact injury and biomechanics related to the extremities will find this volume to be an invaluable resource.
