Load measuring method of motorcyclist's leg during motorcycle collision

Miyazaki, Kyoichi; Kubota, Masami; Sakamoto, Shinichi

In spite of considerable effort of researchers, an effective leg protection device for motorcyclists free from undesirable side effects has not been developed yet. In order to explore the feasibility in the development of an effective motorcycle leg protection device, it is beneficial to analyze the mechanism of leg injury. Progress in measuring methods of leg load will contribute to research into leg protection devices. Following the earlier report (reference 1), further investigation of leg load measuring methods has been continued.
