The purpose of the collaboration is the experimental collection of kinematics, dynamics, and cervical muscle activation data from vehicle occupants subjected to low-speed rear impacts under different conditions, without involving any risk of injury whatsoever.
The data gathered on body kinematics and cervical muscle activity will, by the nature of the experiment itself, remain below the thresholds typically associated with potentially injurious collisions. While this information holds intrinsic value, it could also have a valuable secondary use in the validation of anthropometric computational models capable of accurately predicting the musculoskeletal loads on vehicle occupants subjected to low-speed rear impacts, which are commonly associated with cervical injuries.
Layman's summary: The purpose of the collaboration is the experimental collection of kinematics, dynamics, and cervical muscle activation data from vehicle occupants subjected to low-speed rear impacts under different conditions, without involving any risk of injury whatsoever.
Techniques employed: Vision-based motion capture system; inertial sensor system; electromyography; inverse kinematics; and data analysis.
