Upper Body Skeletal Posture of the Average Pedestrian Male from Upright High-Resolution X-ray Images – Comparison to the THUMS Pedestrian Model

Résumé

Pedestrian protection in motor‐vehicle accidents is a complex problem because of the multiple variables in the impact configuration that may affect the injury outcome. It is a pressing issue, however, as 22% of the fatalities worldwide are pedestrians [1]. One approach to determine pedestrian injury mechanisms, and design effective countermeasures, is to use computational human body models (CHBM), such as the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) [2‐3]. One of the challenges for the creation of pedestrian CHBM is to determine the posture of the human body in standing position, as common medical imaging modalities require the subject to be lying down. Therefore, the goal of this study is to measure the skeletal postures of volunteer subjects imaged in standing position and to compare these postures to that of the posture of the THUMS CHBM.
