Human Volunteer Head-Neck Response in Frontal Flexion: a New Analysis

The objective of this paper is to investigate the difference in T1 instrumentation mount response in the -15G-sub-x human volunteer experiments and the PMHS experiments, based new film analyses to develop a method to correct for observed differences in T1 instrumentation mount rotation earlier and to define a new set of easy to measure neck performance requirements for frontal impact expressed relative to the corrected origin of the first thoracic vertebral body (T1). As in the earlier analyses the head motions will be presented with a two-pivot head-neck mechanical linkage mechanism. Language: en
