Samenvatting
Injury data in the United States estimate that 7,000 pedestrians are killed 110,000 pedestrians non-fatally injured per year. Such injuries and their sequelae are often considered “accidents” and treated differently than diseases with treatable and preventable causes. However, one can utilize biomedical science to analyze the mechanism of injury and then delineate causation factors to develop injury prevention strategies. (Author/publisher)
