I employ state-of-the-science biomechanics resources in my evaluations, as depicted in the following figure. This laboratory has been setup in a converted garage space and includes various certified biofidelic mannequins, dedicated test apparatus, data acquisition hardware, software and calibrated sensor instrumentation, professional photography and high speed and videography equipment.
