Steering Wheel Abdominal Impact Trauma

摘要

The report outlines the biomechanics impact testing protocol that was developed for simulation of steering wheel assembly abdominal trauma using the unembalmed human cadaver surrogate. A series of non-injurious multiple thorac0-abdominal impacts plus a single injurious abdominal impact to one cadaver utilizing a specially crafted steering wheel assembly, not representative of any manufactured steering wheel assembly, using this protocol is presented.
