Biomechanics helps the health professional understand the cause and severity associated with an injury.Which of the following is NOT a factor when determining this?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biomechanics involves the study of the mechanical laws relating to the movement or structure of living organisms. When determining the cause and severity of an injury, factors such as magnitude, location, direction, and duration of the force applied are crucial. Speed, while related to biomechanics, is not directly a factor in determining the cause and severity of an injury in the same way these other factors are. It's more about how the force is applied (magnitude, direction, duration) and where it impacts the body (location) rather than the speed of the movement itself.
