[Biomechanics in forensic medicine].

The paper deals with the problem in the use of biomechanics in forensic and medical practice, in the application of current biomechanical progress in the experimental investigations of the workers of the Department of Forensic Medicine, I. M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy. The experimental and theoretical findings have permitted elaboration of a new concept of the development of intracranial lesions in brain injuries. The original studies have provided a biomechanical model of cranial injury, a comprehensive evaluation of damages caused to the passenger and the driver in the currently available cars. The ways of further development and improvement of experimental studies of biomechanical problems and their practical application are outlined.

[Problems in biomechanics of life-time intracranial injuries].

Discusses the impact of kinetic energy and number of head movements during falling from a standing posture on one's back for various variants of falling on the formation of subdural hematomas, subarachnoidal hemorrhages, and brain concussions in the areas of the stroke, contralateral to the stroke, and intermediate. Discloses the correlations between the area and volume of injury and changes in energy parameters of stroke impact. Demonstrates the relationship between the severity of atherosclerotic involvement of the vessels and the volume and type of intracranial injury.

[Biomechanical conditions of developing injuries sustained from falling from a height].

Evaluation of the height from which human fell from his/her tissue and organ injuries is discussed. The authors of available publications paid the principal attention to estimation of the height from which the victim fell without consideration for the kinetic energy of the body, which depends not only on the height from which the victim fell, but on his/her body weight as well. Primary external and primary internal injuries are distinguished, which are determined by the area of contusion during landing; secondary contact injuries which form during inertial movement of the body after the first contusion, and injuries due to negative acceleration during contusion when landing (so-called signs of total body concussion) are also distinguished. The totality of all listed injuries helps estimate the total kinetic energy at the moment of contusion and determine the height of falling, with due consideration for anthropometric characteristics of the victim.

[The forensic medical aspects of the biomechanics of the impact interaction of a blunt solid object and the human head].

Issues of distribution of kinetic energy of traumatizing object in direct contact interaction with head during impact are discussed from position of biomechanics. It was stated that kinetic energy is directed at deformation of head tissues and object as well as at head displacement after impact and overcoming neck tissue resistance. Experimental studies confirmed theoretical principles. Results obtained can be used in expert practice and in scientific research.
