Standardization and Interpretation of Spinal Injury Criteria

Abstract

Spinal trauma encountered in the operational environment is common. By reasons of its frequency, various etiologies and symptomatologies and their development, spinal injury merits special attention. This paper deals with the level, type, severity and mechanics of spinal injury that are brought to light by a study of the clinical and operational data. A second objective of this paper is to present illustrative material on the process of 'degenerative adaptative' musculoskeletal changes resulting from exposing subhuman primates to Gz mechanical forces.
