Dr. Stephanie Bonin presents Equestrian Fall Characteristics – Rider Head Impacts During Hunter/Jumper Competitions and Dr. Carolyn Roberts presents Lumbar Spine Position in an Automotive Posture Relative to Standing and Seated Flexed Postures at the 2023 International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI) Europe conference on September 13th and 14th, 2023. The conference, held at Cambridge Union Society in Cambridge, UK September 13-15, brings together an international group of researchers, scientists, and experts in injury biomechanics. MEA Forensic’s Dr. Gunter Siegmund (an IRCOBI council member) and Dr. John Gardiner are also attending.
Since 1973, the International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI, then known as the International Research Committee on the Biokinetics of Impact) has been conducting an annual international scientific conference in Europe to review new knowledge on human tolerance to impact as gleaned from field accident studies, experimental research and experience from current occupant protection systems and devices. It has also sponsored specialized conferences and seminars on such topics as trauma to children, two-wheel vehicle users, and pedestrian protection. The peer-reviewed proceedings of these various meetings are now recognized internationally as an important source of knowledge on impact biomechanics and crash injury studies. The IRCOBI Council provides an academically rigorous forum for the dissemination of the latest research into injury causation and protective systems.
