A comparison of fracture response in female and male lumbar spine in simulated under body blast component tests
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Dec 7;150:106303. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106303. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUnderbody blasts (UBB) from mines and improvised explosive devices in military combat can cause debilitating spine injuries to vehicle mounted soldiers. Due to the exclusion of females in combat roles in prior US Department of Defense policy, UBB exposure and injury have predominantly affected male soldiers. Recent policy changes have opened many combat roles to women serving in the US Military (Carter, 2015) and have increased the need to understand the injury potential for female Warfighters. The goal of this...
