Abstract

In car crash, the head is the most frequently injured body region among children. The main injury mechanism for restrained children has been found to be the contact of the head with parts of car interior. Previous studies showed that pre-crash manoeuvres could influence the injury outcome. This thesis quantifies the static belt measurement and the kinematics of child volunteers exposed to steering manoeuvres when restrained on different booster cushions
