Injury Criteria and Human Tolerance for the Neck

Abstract

Measured input-output data for the neck are required to determine absolute tolerance limits to indirect impact acceleration. Considerable data are available as to vehicular output in crash situations. However, very little directly measured data concerning input to the man's neck are available. Determination of absolute tolerance limits is necessary but probably will not be completed for several years. Tolerance limits of the human neck to direct impact are unavailable.
