Dr. Becker testified that ‘the aim of biomechanics is to determine what the body is doing to hold up the body or to elevate the position of the joints. Frames of film are not excluded out of hand, but rather, frames are selected because they are critically related to the biomechanical assessment of the way the body works. He further explained that the videotape is not used to record continuous function, but to determine 'critical points in function that an individual performs in order to achieve a task, termed 'the biomechanical process.’ I find that Dr. Becker is a credible witness, and that his report and testimony are reliable evidence of Claimant's work limitations. I also find that he is eminently qualified as an expert in the area of physical limitations as they relate to work.”

Dr. Becker is well credentialed and experienced in objectively measuring the ability of an injured person to perform various tasks and documenting the level of disability.”

Dr. Becker determined 'the claimant's angulations to elevate were out of normal range and Dr. Becker said this indicated that there was a considerable amount of fatigue and dysfunction in the claimant's back.’ Accordingly, Dr. Becker determined that the claimant had significant dysfunctions of the biomechanics and her body structure would not support stable sustained postures and positions for standing or sitting.”

The still photo analysis provides evidence that is hard to refute. It was very effective in getting necessary results.”
Dr. Becker provided a well reasoned opinion based on objective findings and a thorough explanation for his conclusions. There was no room to dispute his conclusions. His analysis was instrumental in achieving a satisfactory outcome.”

Whenever surveillance video is used against our client we will request this analysis. It was compelling and, more importantly, hard for a Court to ignore.”

We got a good settlement for the client -- thanks to the analysis of the video.”

Your applied biomechanical analysis was a key piece of evidence. I will definitely continue to request applied biomechanical analyses of surveillance on future cases—color still photos with arrows and annotations and angles are helpful and memorable to a judge months down the road when he she is reviewing a cold record and reading all the boring briefs.”

We have your report socialized with two doctors thus far and have found the analysis to be very useful. Ultimately your report will assist our efforts with claim closure and mitigation of residual permanent impairment.”

The study was helpful to me in dealing with certain physicians' preconceived notions regarding a patient's capacities. It also helped reinforce critical points that would otherwise be missed during the physicians' casual observation of the video tape.”

After the trial my conversation with the jury reveals that they were very positive on the impact the biomechanical surveillance analysis played in confirming the injuries sustained by my client.”
