Abstract

The central aspects of injury biomechanics research are defined and research approaches described. These aspects include the identification and definition of impact injury mechanisms, the quantification of biomechanical response to impact, the determination of impact tolerance levels, and the development and use of injury assessment devices and techniques for evaluating injury prevention systems. The current status of knowledge and technology is then reviewed for the head, cervical spine, thorax, abdomen, and lower extremity. Important gaps are identified, and research priorities emphasizing functional impairment are proposed.
