Comparison of Cervical Vertebrae Rotations for PMHS and BioRID II in Rear Impacts.

Conclusions: These results reflect the fact that the fully articulated spine of the BioRID II was designed and tuned to model low speed rear impacts. The intervertebral rotations for both the PMHS and the BioRID II were primarily relative flexion rotations even though the cervical vertebrae rotated rearward with respect to the global coordinate system.
