The Essential Whiplash Biomechanics Seminar

TOPICS WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED:- The exact mechanism of how these injuries happen - Injuries that are commonly missed - Risk Factors, intrinsic and extrinsic, and what they mean - Superficial vs. thorough examination - 180 degree-colinear vs.an off-set collision and how they relate to injury - Clinically derived diagnoses vs. arrived at by exclusion - Imaging: what to order and when - SOAP notes and how to take them, based on frequency and severity - ROM and why you MUST measure it to the degree - Referencing your medical legal reports is coming and you had better be ready - Differentiating today's symptoms when two or more collisions involved (re. Apportionment) - Biomechanical principles: Viscoelasticity, hysteresis, CREEP, anisotropy - Using vehicle dynamics equation to determine g force in a slip and fall case - Which photos to take, both in and out of the vehicle - Spinal Stabilization principles introduction based on shear vs. compression forces - Central Sensitization as it applies to chronic pain - Crash testing vs. epidemiologically derived conclusions - Common tactics used by defense crash reconstructionists and biomechanists - Introduction to crash reconstruction dynamics, re. torque vs. translation PDOF - How to graft photos and actual charts into your reports - Peak acceleration results in injury, not average or change in vehicle velocity - Nociceptive vs. neuropathic pain - How to set up writing a better medical legal report - Newton's three laws of motion and how they apply to vehicle occupants - And much more
