What is the National Biomechanics Institute?

The National Biomechanics Institute (NBI) is a globally recognized leader in forensic biomechanics, injury analysis, sports science, workplace ergonomics, research & development, and media consulting. Our team of biomechanical engineers, forensic experts, and scientists applies cutting-edge research and technology to analyze human movement, injury mechanisms, and the effects of forces on the body.

We work with law firms, insurance companies, corporations, sports teams, manufacturers, and media organizations to provide data-driven insights, expert witness testimony, and scientific consulting across various industries. Whether evaluating an injury claim, optimizing athletic performance, improving workplace safety, or testing innovative products, NBI delivers unparalleled expertise grounded in biomechanics and engineering principles.

Our Expertise & Services

Forensic Biomechanics & Injury Causation Analysis

Forensic biomechanics focuses on understanding how external forces interact with the human body, leading to injury. Attorneys, insurance companies, and corporations rely on our expert opinions to determine injury plausibility in personal injury litigation, workplace accidents, product liability cases, and more.

Our forensic biomechanics services include:

  • Biomechanical Reconstruction – Evaluating human motion and force interactions in motor vehicle accidents, falls, workplace incidents, aviation crashes, and sports injuries.
  • Injury Causation Analysis – Determining whether an injury is consistent with the reported forces, movements, and medical findings.
  • Expert Witness Testimony – Providing clear, science-backed courtroom testimony that withstands legal scrutiny.
  • Human Tolerance & Injury Threshold Analysis – Assessing whether claimed injuries align with biomechanical research and scientific data.

Unlike traditional accident reconstruction, NBI focuses on the biomechanics of injury mechanics. We do not ascertain delta-V (velocity change) but rather analyze the effects of forces on the human body.

Sports Biomechanics & Athlete Performance Optimization

NBI applies motion capture, force plate testing, and wearable sensors to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and optimize sports equipment. We collaborate with professional sports teams, trainers, and equipment manufacturers to provide:

  • 3D Motion Analysis – Evaluating movement mechanics for sprinters, golfers, football players, and other athletes.
  • Injury Risk Reduction – Assessing joint loading, muscle activation, and repetitive stress factors.
  • Helmet & Protective Gear Testing – Ensuring helmets, braces, and sports equipment meet safety and performance standards.
  • Strength & Conditioning Optimization – Developing data-driven training regimens tailored to each athlete’s biomechanics.

Workplace Biomechanics & Ergonomics Consulting

Workplace injuries are a leading cause of lost productivity, disability claims, and legal disputes. NBI helps corporations reduce injury risks, optimize workstation design, and enhance workforce efficiency through:

  • Ergonomic Assessments – Identifying poor posture, repetitive strain risks, and hazardous movements in office, industrial, and manual labor environments.
  • Wearable Technology Integration – Monitoring real-time employee movement patterns to detect fatigue and prevent injuries.
  • Occupational Injury Prevention – Reducing carpal tunnel, back strain, and musculoskeletal injuries through evidence-based interventions.
  • Corporate Wellness Programs – Implementing biomechanics-driven strategies to enhance employee health and productivity.

Our expertise extends across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, aviation, and military operations.
