Injury Criteria Applied to Seat Comparison Tests

Traffic Injury Prevention, 2002
At present, the exact injury mechanisms that cause the so-called "whiplash injury" are still unknown. A number of hypotheses on the nature and location of the injury have been proposed by various researchers. Correspondingly, a number of injury criteria have been evaluated that would allow researchers to predict injuries in low-speed rear-end impacts ...

Femur Load Injury Criteria - A Realistic Approach

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1973
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The analysis presented in this paper indicates that while 1700 lbf (7560 N) is a realistic femur fracture load for 30-50 ms duration impacts, the human femur can withstand higher loads for shorter-duration impacts. Experimental femur fracture data from cadaver and bone specimen tests are reviewed.

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.

ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Blunt Chest Trauma-Suspected Cardiac Injury

Journal of the American College of Radiology, 2020
Blunt cardiac injuries range from myocardial concussion (commotio cordis) leading to fatal ventricular arrhythmias to myocardial contusion, cardiac chamber rupture, septal rupture, pericardial rupture, and valvular injuries. Blunt injuries account for one-fourth of the traumatic deaths in the United States.

Head injuries, measurement criteria and helmet design

2013
Combatants wearing rudimentary head protection have been depicted in drawings for thousands of years (Hoshizaki and Brien, 2004). While sometimes dramatic in appearance, the effectiveness of these helmets is not well documented; however, they likely provided some protection against impacts from falling to the ground and strikes to the head.

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.

Retrospective evaluation of admission criteria for paediatric electrical injuries

Burns, 1995
In the medical community, the practice of admitting all electrical burns for 24-48 h of observation, monitoring and laboratory evaluation is widespread. This retrospective review of paediatric electrical burns was conducted to determine which patients may safely be treated as outpatients.

Injury Criteria and Motor Vehicle Regulations

2014
A historical review of frontal and side impact regulations in the U.S.A. and Europe has been conducted. The biomechanical bases of injury criteria utilized in these regulations have been examined. It is shown that the biomechanical database utilized in the current impact regulations are based on research conducted before the mid-1980s.

Injury Criteria of Child and Adult Dummies

Advances in Bioengineering, 1999
Abstract Human injury tolerance is difficult because of physical differences between humans and animals, dummies and cadaver tissue. Human volunteer testing has been done but at sub injurious levels (Stapp, 1986 and Ewing, 1972). Considerable biomechanical engineering and tissue studies exist for the adult human cadaver however little is
