Biomechanics Course - Association for the Advancement of

BIOMECHANICS Seminar
Sponsored by:
PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED
THURSDAY, September 29 and
FRIDAY, September 30
AAAM’s Biomechanics of Impact
Course will be conducted at:
L’Automobile Club
14 avenue de la Grande Armée
75017 Paris
This seminar will provide an introduction to injury biomechanics, including
terminology, and outline the state of
knowledge of the biomechanics of
impact to the main anatomical
regions. The circumstances under
which trauma is generated, the effect of variations in the population on
injury outcomes, and the consequences for occupant restraint in vehicle
design. This course is recommended for engineering professionals and
students, medical professionals (EMS, Nurse, Physician), lawyers and
public servants (fire and police).
OJECTIVES:
 Acquire a better understanding of the relationship between energy





transfer and trauma;
Understand the limits of human tolerance to various kinds of injury;
Recognize the effect of population variations on different injury
outcomes; and
Recognize injuries that can go undetected in restrained occupants;
Expose the student to special topics in pediatric, pedestrian and
injury risk;
Understanding of the cost of injury to an individual and society.
