Accidental Injury: Biomechanics and Prevention

By Alan M. Nahum

Book Overview

The study of accidental injury lies at the interface between medical diagnosis and treatment, and research on biomechanical principles of tissue organization. This second edition, completely revised and judiciously expanded, presents chapters written by authorities in the field of human traumatic injury, and covers topics ranging from automobile restraint systems to cell and tissue biomechanics. This new edition will continue to interest a variety of researchers including physicians; biomechanical researchers; mechanical, biomedical and automotive engineers; as well as attorneys and jurists involved in accidental injury cases.
