How do you objectively evaluate injury mechanisms in the context of a specific accident or incident?
Exponent leverages leading-edge technology and our in-house testing facilities — including instrumented anthropomorphic test devices, head impact testing capabilities, motion capture and inertia measurement unit (IMU) systems, and custom-designed test apparatuses and protocols — to perform biomechanical testing and modeling. Our experienced biomechanical experts provide valuable, evidence-based insights for a range of applications and industries.
Exponent specializes in analysis of impacts to the human body and evaluation of responses to forces in the context of known injury mechanisms. We support our analyses with computer modeling, anthropomorphic test device (ATD, or "crash test dummy") impacts, human surrogate evaluations, and even full-scale vehicle crash testing. Our biomechanical consultants use state-of-the-art computer modeling and simulation methods — applying software packages such as MADYMO (Mathematical Dynamic Models) and OpenSim, to evaluate human motion for biomechanics and kinematics studies — leading to breakthrough insights for our clients.
