A RESTRAINT SYSTEM FOR APPLICATION IN R(SUB Z) AND -G(SUB X) ACCELERATION ENVIRONMENTS WITH EMPHASIS UPON KNEE AND LOWER LEG RESTRAINTS

Abstract

This report describes the development of a lower leg restraint system design suitable for use in yaw (R sub z) and transverse P-A G (-G sub x) acceleration environments. The design is based upon the principle of avoiding restraining force concentrations along the anterior crest of the tibia and has been worn with comfort for periods of up to three minutes with the legs in a 9.8 G field.
