In experimental studies, in order to establish the number of hits by a rubber stick (RS) on the limbs skin and on human clothing, one or two blows were applied with medium or maximum strength. Statistically significant differences in the quantitative content of chemical elements (Zn, Fe, Ni, Ca, Mg, Mn, Al) in the traces-overlays have not been established. The most objective and scientifically sound should be considered the conclusion of the forensic medical examination that the damage to the clothes and skin of the victim could have been caused by both one or two hits of the RS. It was established that this problem cannot be solved by traditional medical crime, spectral and histological methods of research.
