✓ study of energy transfer as it applies to identifying actual or potential

injuries




Biomechanics


✓ general study of forces and their effects




mechanism of injury


✓ how external energy forces in the environment are transferred to the

body




Newtons 3 laws


✓ 1. an object in motion will stay in motion

✓ 2. force = mass x acceleration

✓ 3. for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction




5 forms of energy that exist


✓ 1. Mechanical- energy transfer from one object to another in form of

motion




2. thermal-heat transfer from environment to host

3. chemical- heat energy trnsfer from active chemical substances such as chlorine, drain

cleaner, acids




4. electrical- energy transfer from light socket




5. radiant- energy transfer from blast sound waves, nuclear, rays from the sn




eternal forces in trauma


✓ 1. deceleartion- falls and collison = sudden stop




2. acceleration- sudden onset of motion- hit by a car




3. compression- hit stationary objects; bullets; blast forces




internal forces of energy in trauma


✓ stress- internal force that resists external force




solid organs good at pressure wave energy

air organs better at shear forces




4 main types of traumatic injury


✓ 1. blunt trauma- falls; mvc; trauma

2. penetrating- stabing; GSW


3. Thermal


4. Blast Trauma- bomb




deceleration vs acceleration forces


✓ -Deceleration: injury that occurs as pt slows down




acceleration injury: injury that occurs as a result of other parts of the body stopping before

the organs do (concussion; shearing of aorta)




environment and pathophysiology when MOI is a fal


✓ -point of impact on the body

-type of surface that is hit


-tissues ability to resist injury (bone is less flexible)


-pt pushed = more acceleration
