Injury Mechanics ("Unfallbiomechanik")- exam questions
Verfasst: 24.01.2014, 21:19
Finally test is over and here are the questions we had tody:
1) Injury Load model. Describe it and together with that,
1.a) Biomechanical Response
1.b) Injuury Prevention Measures
2) Thorax Injuries
2.a) 3 main injury mechanisms of thorax injuries
2.b) 3 different injury criteria for thorax injuries
3) HIC. First there was a long text about the HIC, where it´s formular was shown and then came the question:
"Explain the basic experiment leading to HIC"
4) AIS. What is the AIS? Explain the code scheme.
4.a) Calculate ISS and NISS for three cases A,B, C seperately.
(You should know which regions are in AIS-9, and which in ISS-6, cause only then you can calculate it correctly!)
(Case C was 1 AIS 6 this automatically leads to ISS 75!)
4.b) Discuss the differences in the calculation of ISS and NISS.
That´s it. He was starring at his desk the whole time, so the temptation to cheat was quite high I would say. Never the less nobody did.
You´ve got more then enough time for the exam and if you prepare three days in total you are still fine.
The next days I´ll upload my mindmaps where you´ve it all together at 12 pages, but you can also read the book
Trauma Biomechanics
if you want. It´s covering everything, not much more, not less. But you will have it all explained.
If you first quickly go through his slides and then read this, you´ll understand everything. But first, don´t go into detail, try to get an overview before you dig deeper. Otherwise there´s a high risk you get stuck.
good luck with that exam!
best wishes,
