Abstract

CHAPTER 6 Additional Considerations in a Biomechanics Test 6.1 ADDITIONAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS While there is no magic formula for designing a biomechanics study, there are several issues that continuously need to be addressed. Here we address a few of them. Biomechanical engineers can find themselves working in environments with surgeo ns where many of the research questions will be raised by the clinician who could potentially have very detailed directives on the way in which they want a study conducted, including the study question (maybe they want to compare a fixation technique), the model they wish to use and the loading mode they want used to evaluate the fixa- tion technique. Often these projects originate in the operating room over ways to address fractures and deficiencies in the literature that do not provide surgeons with the requisite data they want to make clinical decisions. On the other end of the continuum biomechanical engineers can find themselves dealing with a study in which they are asked to provide all the relevant details and they need to be properly prepared for such responsibility.
