Biomechanical Properties of the Male and Female Chest Subjected to Frontal and Lateral Impacts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to determine chest impact responses and injury thresholds due to gender differences based on a retrospective review of published data. Data from 83 cadaveric frontal and lateral blunt impacts to the chest and 96 isolated rib bending tests were selected to characterize chest biomechanical properties. Variables selected for analysis were relevant cadaveric information, test conditions, chest impact response and resulting chest injuries. It was found that chest stiffness was significantly higher in males than in females in frontal impact. Similarly, the cross-sectional area and bending stiffness of female ribs were significantly lower than those of males. More research is needed to determine injury thresholds for lateral impact due to gender differences.

Evaluation of Canonical Correlations between Masticatory Muscle Orientation and Craniodentofacial Morphology in 10-17 Year_Olds
Objectives: Different theories have been suggested to define factors involved in skeletal and craniofacial morphology. Many of these theories explain that the bone morphology is the result of the bone tissue capability to adapt in response to biomechanical forces exerted during growth. Also, it seems logical to hypothesize that there is a relationship between biomechanical connections of muscle...

Abstract Introduction: Estimating the appropriate time for orthodontic treatment is a crucial factor. Given the earlier maturation of sinuses rather than maxillomandibular growth, finding the exact relationship between the growth of the jaws and frontal sinuses is considered to be a helpful element in Orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study, conduc...

متن کاملBiomechanics of the human chest, abdomen, and pelvis in lateral impact.
Fourteen unembalmed cadavers were subjected to 44 blunt lateral impacts at velocities of approximately 4.5, 6.7, or 9.4 m/s with a 15 cm flat circular interface on a 23.4 kg pendulum accelerated to impact speed by a pneumatic impactor. Chest and abdominal injuries consisted primarily of rib fractures, with a few cases of lung or liver laceration in the highest severity impacts. There were two c...
