What is Injury Biomechanics?

Injury Biomechanics combines engineering, physics, human anatomy, and biomedical science to understand how environmental factors impact the human body. At GTD Scientific, we use medical records, diagnostic images, scientific research, and dynamic modeling software (MADYMO) to analyze how traumatic injuries occur.

Forensic insights that make a difference.

As we take a moment to express our gratitude, we'd like to thank our valued US clients, friends and collaborators for your trust and partnership. Your support has been crucial!

The first Thanksgiving was held in 1621, it lasted three days and was shared by Pilgrims and Native Americans, symbolizing cooperation. As we celebrate today, it’s a reminder of the power of community and gratitude.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Our third publication this week, "1+1>2: Simulating Occupant Dynamics in a Vehicle Crash," is featured in the Summer 2024 edition of the Paralegal Press by the BC Paralegal Association.

This study explores how combining vehicle and occupant simulation software enhances accuracy in reconstructing occupant dynamics during crashes. Discover how fewer assumptions lead to more precise injury verification.

Here's a fun story on how I landed a spot to be the engineering expert and co-host for the hit TV show from Viacom @Deadliest Warrior. Thank you, Tim Prokop. - Geoffrey Desmoulin, Ph.D., R.Kin., P.L.Eng. Video 5 of 5. _ #GTDscientific #viacom #deadliestwarrior #geoffdesmoulin #engineering

Dr. Desmoulin’s Background
Dr. Desmoulin’s Background

Dr. Desmoulin discusses his background as a first responder and explains how helping people combined with engineering principles transitioned into biomechanical studies, shaping his current profession. Visit www.gtdscientific.com to learn more.

Dive into The Science of Violence® series developed by Geoffrey Desmoulin Ph.D., R.Kin., P.L.Eng. and the GTD Scientific team to gain unparalleled insight into real-world case studies and learn how science can unravel the truth when it is hard to find. Complete each course at your own pace: https://www.scienceofviolence.ca Video 3 of 5. - #GTDscientific #scienceofviolence #onlinetraining #injuryanalysis #expertwitness

In investigations, hypotheses serve as our framework for examining cases. We test these hypotheses using scientific methods to confirm their validity. Additionally, we also address simpler questions than what a test can provide. Video 2 of 5. Geoffrey Desmoulin, Ph.D., R.Kin., P.L.Eng.

What Does GTD Scientific do?
What Does GTD Scientific do?

This question is frequently asked by many. Watch our first short video to learn about our company and how we specialize in uncovering the truth behind injury causation. Video 1 of 5. Geoffrey Desmoulin, Ph.D., R.Kin., P.L.Eng. gtdscientific.com

In part II of this week's posts on the State of IDAHO vs. HOWARD, we are showing you the setup for the biomechanical analysis. The idea here was to attempt to rule out suicide by demonstrating the arm motion accounted for in the model and comparing that with how the deceased was documented to be found. The model is set in motion by the discharge of the firearm. Discharge had a major influence on wrist supination (holds hands together like a bowl of "SOUP") but very little influence on forearm and upper arm motions as the inertia is much larger in these segments and so most of the motion there was driven by gravity. Tomorrow we will post the results of the biomechanical simulation that was performed. By Friday you will have a deep understanding of those findings. - #gtdscientific #danielhowardcase #expertwitness #biomechanicalanalysis
