GTD Scientific presents 'Injury Analysis 4Forensics'.
This course aims to identify how understanding injury types and their biomechanical causes can enhance complex human injury litigation involving violent encounters and incident reconstruction investigations.
It will demonstrate how injury biomechanics—through analysis of location, direction, and magnitude—can be used to determine how an injury occurred, establish causation, and reconstruct events with greater accuracy using scientifically validated methodologies.
By the end of this course, you will:
-
Identify common injury types (abrasions, contusions, lacerations, fractures, and penetrating wounds) and their biomechanical characteristics.
-
Demonstrate how injury features like tissue deformation, bruising patterns, and fracture geometry can help determine causation.
-
Discuss injury thresholds, failure loads, and risk functions using peer-reviewed literature and case studies.
-
Apply the principles of stress and strain to evaluate mechanisms of injury in forensic investigations.
-
Explore real-world case studies where injury biomechanics were key to interpreting events and challenging or supporting testimonial evidence.
Format: Pre-recorded webinar.
Duration: 1.5 hour.
