29
Q

What characterizes the properties of human tissues?

A
30
Q

Define Injury mechanism.

A

Injury mechanism–Process that disrupts the tissues

31
Q

Define Injury criteria.

A

Injury criteria –Relation between the severity of an injury and the value of a physical variable describing the impact of violence (something you can measure in a dummy that correlates to injury risk)

32
Q

Define Tolerance level.

A

Tolerance level –Magnitude of external loading that causes specific type of injury severity in specific tissue (e.gexterrnalaxial force on a long bone)

33
Q

Define Injury threshold.

A

Injury threshold –Level of internal mechanical response above which a specified injury will occur for a given individual (e.g. strain in brain tissue)

34
Q

Define Injury assessment values.

A

Injury assessment values –Response level below which a specified significant injury is unlikely to occur for a given individual (e.g. a maximum limit of load in a dummy to pass the test)

35
Q

Explain Injury Criterion.

A
36

Q

Explain Research Methods of Injury Biomechanics

A

Research Methods of Injury Biomechanics

•Identify the mechanisms of impact injury
•Quantify the responses of body tissues and systems
•Determine the level of responses at which the tissues or systems will fail to recover
•Develop protective materials and structures that reduce the injurious load transferred to the body
•Develop models that respond to impact in a human like manner
