abstract="INTRODUCTION: Developed a detailed finite element model of spine and validated with  the experimental or cadaveric tests to gain insight on occupant safety. <br><br>OBJECTIVES:  This study evaluates the influence of occupant collision state parameters such as  height of the drop, occupant seating posture (occupant posture angle) and mass of  the upper body on the risk of lumbar spinal injury during a frontal crash. <br><br>METHODS:  This parametric evaluation utilizing response surface methodology (RSM) performed. ANOVA was used to test the significance of parameters. <br><br>RESULTS: Higher axial force  of 3547 N is observed with higher dropping distance of 1500 mm. Similarly, higher  strain and energy absorption were observed for the same dropping condition  respectively. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The result shows that all the factors considered in the  experiment contribute to the risk of spinal lumbar injury during the frontal crash. Among all, height of the drop and the occupant posture angle are the most  significant parameters in determining the lumbar spinal injury of occupant. It is  observed that the injury criteria are directly proportional to the posture angle of  the seat and height of drop.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
