Presenting potential injury risk by biomechanical simulation based on bodygraphic injury data

چکیده
Injury prevention is one of the most important and urgent issues in children’s health since the primary cause of death of children is unintentional injury. Injury prevention requires making safe products as well as safe environments by evaluating the risks. This paper proposes a system for presenting and evaluating potential risk of injury by using a biomechanical simulation based on bodygraphic injury data collected in hospitals. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed system, this paper describes the application of the system to the risk analysis of a playground swing in a park. The potential risk of head injury around the swing equipment was calculated by using a physical simulator consisting of a multi-body model, a finite element model of a child’s head, and an injury database.

Biomechanical analysis of blast-induced traumatic brain injury
Purpose: Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is one of the causes of death or permanent invalidity which can occur unexpectedly in both military and civilian populations. This study set out to conduct a combined Eulerian-Lagrangian computational analysis of the interaction between a single planar blast wave and a human head in order to assess the extent of intracranial shock w...

Support foot position is one of the important factors which can affect instep kick quality and ankle joint injury. The aims of this study were to examine the support foot parameters in maximal instep kicking with the preferred and the non-preferred leg and research on risk factors for ankle joint injury in amateur futsal players. In this semi experimental study, twelve young and novice futsal p...
متن کاملComputer simulation of stair falls to investigate scenarios in child abuse.
OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the usefulness of computer simulation techniques in the investigation of pediatric stair falls. Since stair falls are a common falsely reported injury scenario in child abuse, our specific aim was to investigate the influence of stair characteristics on injury biomechanics of pediatric stair falls by using a computer simulation model. Our long-term goal is to use knowl...
