Biomechanics of Loading the Child’s Head During Shaking or Falling

Summary/Abstract: Shaken baby syndrome is moustly caused by forceful shaking and plucking at a stuckling baby or a young child, there is not important which body part is shaked by – legs, arms, chest or shoulders. Plucking can provoke brain damage (which is followed by mental retardation, learning and speaking defect), paralysis, epileptic fit, hearing loss or death. It can also provoke encephalorrhagia or in eyes surrouding blindness. There are mentioned results of experiments which werw made with a stuckling baby biomechanical model. The author shows in values of head acceleration which reached average efficiency. It was attested a hypothesis that a man is able to provoke overfreight which reaches critical border for surviving in case of internal head injury during only a few second shaking.
