Time and temperature sensitivity of the Hybrid III neck.

CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that while the duration of the recovery interval between tests has a small influence on neck stiffness, temperature effects should not be overlooked as they influence neck compressive stiffness considerably. The relationship between recorded force and temperature is well represented by exponential decay models. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring and controlling for temperature effects during all HIII testing. PMID: 29927682 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
