abstract="New injury risk curves for the evaluation of pedestrian lower leg injury risk are proposed based on statistical analyses. The data published on lower leg injury were used, where the left leg was struck by a ram below the knee center in each of 15 completely intact post mortem human subjects. The t-test results indicated that knee shearing displacement was a factor significantly related to the risk of an anterior cruciate ligament injury, and the impact force was also significantly related to the risk of a tibia fracture. Those injury risk curves were determined from application of the maximum likelihood method of logistic regression.",
