68th AAAM Annual Scientific Conference - AAAM 2024, Seoul (South Korea). 11-14 November 2024


Spanish layman's summary:

Este estudio tiene como objetivo definir el posicionamiento global medio de los usuarios de patinete eléctrico en relación con su sexo, estatura y peso. Para ello, se realizó un estudio naturalista con 84 voluntarios en un entorno controlado, y se registró y analizó el posicionamiento de 16 puntos anatómicos de referencia. Comprender la posición media del usuario es fundamental, ya que representa un aspecto clave de las condiciones de contorno en colisiones de patinete eléctrico que debe investigarse a fondo para mejorar la capacidad efectiva de realizar ensayos biomecánicos experimentales o de simulación.


English layman's summary:

This study aims to define the average global e-scooter rider positioning in relation to sex, height and weight. To this end, a naturalistic study was conducted with 84 volunteers in a controlled environment, and the positioning of 16 anatomical landmark points was recorded and analyzed. Understanding the average rider position is critical as it represents a key aspect of the e-scooter collision boundary conditions that must be thoroughly investigated to enable effective experimental or simulation testing.
