Accidental Injury

by Alan M. Nahum

The study of accidental injury lies at the interface between medical diagnosis and treatment on the one hand, and research on biomechanical principles of tissue organization. This volume presents chapters written by widely-recognized authorities in the field of human traumatic injury, and covers topics ranging from automobile restraint systems to cell and tissue biomechanics. Accidental Injury: Biomechanics and Prevention will be of interest to a wide variety of scholars and professionals, including physicians; researchers in biomechanics; mechanical, biomedical and automotive engineers; and attorneys and jurists involved in accidental injury cases.
