The current study evaluates kinematic response of three male post-mortem human subjects (PMHS) during 15 G peak vertical drop tower testing. PMHS were instrumented using pressure sensors in the intervertebral discs from L2-S1 and 6DX blocks were rigidly coupled at T1, T4, T12, L3, and S1 to record spinal kinematics. Subjects were positioned in a rigid seat with a 90-degree seat pan-to-seatback angle and restrained using a pilot torso harness secured at the shoulders and a lap belt. Forces were estimated throughout the lumbar spine using intervertebral disc cross-section measurements and recorded pressure data. Peak z-axis acceleration for T1 through T12 ranged from -11.9 G to -24.3 G, whereas peak acceleration in the L3 and S1 regions ranged from -18.8 G to -40.9 G. Average calculated force in the lumbar spine ranged between 5.8 kN and 9.8 kN, with the highest values for PMHS1 and PMHS3 seen at L5-S1 and at L3-L4 for PMHS2. Post-test dissection revealed a minor compression burst fracture at T10 for PMHS1 and a left transverse process fracture at L2 for PMHS2, whereas no injuries were observed in PMHS3. Data will be used for future Finite Element Human Body Model validation efforts.
