Licensed Professional Engineer Medical Device Design & Development  40+ years orthopaedic device development  14 patents Testified in State and Federal Courts , Injury Biomechanics and Medical Device Litigation  35+ trials  150+ depositions 46 years of experience in the biomechanics and orthopedics fields, 24 years forensic case analyses. I routinely deal with forces that are applied to the human body during many activities, including impact and injury scenarios. To assure the safety and efficacy of new medical devices, we define clinically relevant performance requirements for their installation and use, and then test to define the product specific performance characteristics. The physical principles and methods used in orthopedic biomechanics are the same as those used to reconstruct injury events. I am familiar with forces and loads applied to the hips, knees, wrist, shoulder, head, neck, lower back and skeleton in many typical activities, including sitting, walking, jumpin...
