      Pediatric Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATD) provide a reasonable approximation predicting maximum head excursion. However, the exact trajectory followed by the human head and the flexible human spine cannot be replicated ...
    • Kinetics of the cervical spine in pediatric and adult volunteers during low speed frontal impacts 

      Seacrist, Thomas; Arbogast, Kristy .B.; Maltese, Matthew R.; García España, J. Felipe; López Valdés, Francisco José; Kent, Richard W.; Tanji, Hiromasa; Higuchi, Kazuo; Balasubramanian, Sriram (03/01/2012)
      Previous research has quantified differences in head and spinal kinematics between children and adults restrained in an automotive-like configuration subjected to low speed dynamic loading. The forces and moments that the ...
