Injury Tolerance and Moment Response of the Knee Joint to Combined Valgus Bending and Shear Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Valgus bending and shearing of the knee have been identified as primary mechanisms of injuries in a lateral loading environment applicable to pedestrian-car collisions. Previous studies have ...
The Axial Injury Tolerance of the Human Foot/Ankle Complex and the Effect of Achilles Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Axial loading of the foot/ankle complex is an important injury mechanism in vehicular trauma that is responsible for severe injuries such as calcaneal and tibial pilon fractures. Axial loading ...
