Female kinematics and muscle responses in lane change and lane change with braking maneuvers

CONCLUSIONS: The presented results from female passengers complement the previously published results from male passengers subjected to the same loading scenarios. The data provided in this article can be used for validation of AHBMs of female occupants in both sagittal and lateral loading scenarios potentially occurring prior to a crash. Additionally, our results show that a pre-pretensioner belt decreases muscle activation onset and amplitude as well as forward and lateral displacements of head and T1 compared to a standard belt, confirming previously published results.PMID:33688754 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2021.1881068
