2. 1. Modelling of Factors Influencing Foot Ankle Responses and Injuries in Car Crashes

   Author : Niklas Höglund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mathematical model; foot-ankle injuries; parameter study; toepan intrusion;

   Abstract : Foot and ankle injuries in frontal car collisions are believed to be caused mainly by occupant contact with the floor and toepan, occupant interaction with the pedals, and the lower leg being deformed between the floor and knee bolster. A better understanding of the causes of foot and ankle injuries is required to design cars for improved safety of the legs. READ MORE
