Evaluation of Head Injury Criteria

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1974
<div class="htmlview paragraph">An impact model of the human head characterized by an elastic spherical shell (skull) containing a low modulus core (brain) is studied using experimentally determined geometric, material, and structural properties.

Occupant Injury Assessment Criteria

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1975
<div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper is a brief review of the complex subject of human injury mechanisms and impact tolerance. Automotive accident-related injury patterns are briefly described and the status of knowledge in the biomechanics of trauma of the head, neck, chest, abdomen and extremities is discussed.</div>

Return-to-Play Criteria Following Sports Injury

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2010
Determining the criteria for an injured athlete's return to competition can be a confusing scenario when all the individuals involved are brought in. These may include the athlete, parents, guardians, coaches, family physician, the athletic trainer, and others. Providing a foundation from which all can understand the reasoning is key.

Head injury criteria

Polymer Mechanics, 1977
The results of a study of the mechanical responses of the head will be presented. Driving point impedance responses of a variety of subhuman primates and unembalmed cadavers have been measured and used to develop a lumped parameter model of the head.

The Concept of Acute Kidney Injury and the RIFLE Criteria

2007
Over last half century, the concept of acute renal failure has evolved and with it our estimates of the incidence, prevalence and mortality. Indeed, until very recently no standard definition of acute renal failure was available, and this lack of a common language created confusion and made comparisons all but impossible.

Evaluation of the Biofidelity of FMVSS No. 218 Injury Criteria

Traffic Injury Prevention, 2009
The biofidelity of the injury criteria used by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No. 218 was examined against biomechanically based injury metrics.An experimental method was developed to measure the helmet contact pressure distribution on a headform during an impact attenuation test.

A Correction for Primary Blast Injury Criteria

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2006
We review the accepted primary blast injury criteria. We point out a significant systematic error in the criteria due to the use of low-quality pulse duration data in the original criteria.We recalculate the injury criteria using state-of-the-art blast data.We give the corrected injury criteria in the form of pressure-duration curves, pressure-impulse ...

Analytical Studies of Injury Criteria for the Thorax

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1989
The viscous criterion is a recently developed criterion to assess injury severity of the human thorax. In the viscous criterion, the peak viscous response, which is defined as the maximum product of deformation velocity and compression of an object, is proposed as a predictor of injury risk.

The criteria for amputation in severe lower limb injury

Injury, 1994
Open fractures of the tibia are associated with higher complication rates and longer healing times than other long bone open fractures. The anteromedial border of the tibia lacks muscle cover and is therefore highly susceptible to serious injury and soft tissue stripping when subjected to direct trauma.

Treatment Criteria for Closed Injuries

2002
The term tibial pilon was first used by the French radiologist Destot in 1911 to identify the anatomical region corresponding to the distal third of the tibia, extending proximally approximately 5 cm from the joint line. The term tibial pilon fracture (7-10% of tibial fractures) is used to define a group of injuries that always involves the distal ...
