Abstract
A pediatric biomechanics model provides accurate information regarding the types and magnitudes of forces that children can apply to products such as toys. The model is used to obtain measurements of the actual forces that children can generate, which permits product designers to design products that will not be easily broken by children. Based on these measurements, manufacturers can design their products to reduce the risk of injury a product may pose to a child as well as to keep the product from breaking.
