Why Trauma Testing Is Vital For Better Modern Military Equipment
Why Trauma Testing Is Vital For Better Modern Military Equipment Blunt trauma remains one of the most serious and complex injury mechanisms faced by military personnel. Even when armour successfully prevents penetration, the kinetic transfer of energy can often cause severe internal injuries, long-term disabilities, or even death. With modern threats increasing the risks associated […]
Reducing Injury Through Reliable Testing of Sport Protective Gear
Protective sports equipment is essential for protecting athletes at all levels, from amateur to professional play. To perform as necessary, rigorous testing against a wide range of standards set by global leaders like NOCSAE, ASTM, and ISO is crucial. At Biokinetics, we understand the importance of accurate performance testing to ensure equipment performs as intended […]
Reasons Blunt Trauma Testing Is Important For Protective Equipment
Protective gear is essential for keeping law enforcement members, military personnel, and security teams safe in intense and unpredictable conditions. While the popular focus tends to be on protecting against the most obvious threats—stabbings and ballistic injuries—less lethal threats caused by non-penetrative impacts pose a different challenge. Blunt force trauma (BFT) can result from impacts […]
Understanding the Lasting Effects of Impact Trauma on the Human Body
Impact trauma, often referred to as blunt force trauma (BFT), can have profoundly detrimental effects on the human body, lasting well beyond the point of impact. The sudden, forceful transfer of kinetic energy into the human body can lead to a variety of injuries, ranging from minor contusions to severe, permanent damage to soft tissue […]
