Lower leg impact has been studied in context of injuries sustained in automotive crashes. However, a leg injury due to an anti-vehicular landmine explosion is caused by an impact of a different magnitude, duration and direction. The baseline for this research were the foot plate displacement and tibia force measured during explosives tests conducted with a Hybrid III dummy and explosive mass ranging from 100 to 300g. Once the same conditions were simulated with varying mass and pressure linear impactor, the lower legs of ten post-mortem human subjects (PMHS) were tested using two of the established conditions of differing severity. Tolerance corridors were established for each of the conditions, and injuries noted. The same impacts were repeated for a Hybrid III 50thpercentile lower leg with an advanced ankle/toe complex and a Thor lower leg. The ability of each of the surrogates to fit within the established corridors was assessed, and the THOR dummy found to be a more suitable surrogate. Forces experienced in the surrogate’s ankle were found to be grater than those in the tibia, explaining the common ankle fractures in literature.
