Overview

Biomechanical Expert, Doctor, and Attorney Insights

Welcome to our mini biomechanics school crafted specifically for attorneys and medical professionals! This full-day program, created in partnership with the International Academy of Independent Medical Evaluators and ARCCA, is designed to bring you a new understanding to the accidents and ensuing injuries you encounter in your practice. Delve into the mechanics behind accidents, the body's response to trauma, and the intricate world of biomechanical analysis. Elevate your legal and medical acumen with scientific insights - register today!

  • Learn the lingo of biomechanics - your secret weapon to better communication and questions.
  • Explore how experts calculate vehicle velocity changes and decode force-deflection characteristics via case studies.
  • Navigate the biomechanics behind deceptively minor, low-speed collisions.
  • Unravel how biomechanics shapes slips, trips, and falls.
  • Dissect and explore the interplay of traumatic brain injury biomechanics and medicine.
  • Uncover the tricks and traps in questioning a biomechanical engineer during depositions or cross-examination.

Amanda Stone, Ph.D.

ARCCA, LLC
Amanda Stone

is a Senior Biomechanist specializing in injury biomechanics. During her doctorate program at the University of Florida, she focused primarily on cognition and biomechanics following a lower extremity injury, or in persons with neurologic or orthopedic issues. She continued this work on lower extremity biomechanics through her joint-position post-doctoral fellowship at the Puget Sound Veterans Hospital and University of Washington. At ARCCA, Amanda has established a niche well suited for her background analyzing slip and trip incidents which involve biomechanics, human factors, and codes/standards, many of the topics she’ll discuss during her presentation. In addition to ambulatory-type cases, she assesses injury causation and injury mechanisms for a variety of incidents, including motor vehicle collisions and work place incidents. She also has training in human factors principles related to driving which is beneficial for analyzing driver response during incidents such as pedestrian impacts and nighttime driving.
