RESEARCH PORTFOLIO

Epidemiologic Investigation of Child Restraint Installation Position and Serious Injury among Children in Motor Vehicle Crashes

Principal Investigator: Rachel Myers, PhD

The goal of this study is to create a unique source of epidemiologic crash data that enables novel description of use and installation patterns of child restraints among crash-involved children and— following linkage with hospital discharge and death certificate data—novel description of child occupant injury outcomes based on restraint use and installation (rear- vs. forward-facing).

2005-2006

Lower Extremity Injuries in Children Seated in Forward Facing Child Restraint Systems

Principal Investigator: Jessica Jermakian, DSc


This study described the spectrum of lower extremity injuries to children in forward-facing child restraints seen at a level one pediatric trauma center. This study involved both prospective and retrospective full-scale crash investigations.
Effect of High Back Booster Seat Seating Angle and Seat Belt Positioning on Injury Metrics of a 6-year-old ATD
Previous research at TraumaLink revealed differential performance among various high back booster seat designs during sled tests. This study conducted a parametric analysis thru mathematical modeling to explore design differences on injury metrics.
Misuse Study of LATCH Attachments: A Series of Sled Tests
A case of severe cervical spine injury in a toddler was previously identified and investigated by the engineering team at TraumaLink. This child was restrained in a new child restraint with LATCH attachment, and loose attachment was one proposed injury mechanism. This study conducted a series of sled tests to examine the effects of loose attachment on injury risk.
Identifying Motor Vehicle Crash Characteristics for Anatomic-specific Fatal Injuries in Child Occupants

Principal Investigator: Michael L. Nance, MD


This study correlated anatomic fatal injuries of children with causative motor vehicle crash dynamics. It involved creating a new injury resource, a linked dataset including the Fatal Analysis Reporting System and the Multiple Cause of Death database.

2011-2012

Comparing FMVSS 213 Sled Test to the Full-scale Vehicle Crash Environment (Multiple Year Project)

Principal Investigator: Matthew R. Maltese, PhD


The long-term goal of this study is to determine the effect of geometric and material modifications to the FMVSS 213 bench on the ability of the bench, used in regulatory sled testing, to replicate a real vehicle seat in a crash.
Long-term Disability Following Pediatric Trauma

Principal Investigator: Mark R. Zonfrillo, MD, MSCE


The goal of the proposed study is to investigate the nature of the disabilities following pediatric injuries.
Injury Risk to Belted Occupants (Multiple Year Project)

Principal Investigator: Kristy Arbogast, PhD


The objective of this study is to continue exploration of the injuries and their causation experienced by seat belt restrained occupants - both adults and children - in the rear seat in order to understand if pre-teens and adolescents are at an elevated risk.
Evaluation of Hyperthermia Prevention Technologies

Principal Investigator: Kristy Arbogast, PhD


The objective of this study is to evaluate countermeasures designed to prevent children 0 to 24 months of age from being left behind in closed, parked vehicles, which has the potential to result in hyperthermia.
Dynamic Comparison of Pediatric and the 5th Percentile Female Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs)

Principal Investigator: Thomas Seacrist, MBE


The specific aim is to quantify the kinematics of the head, cervical, and thoracic spine as well as the kinetics of the upper neck of the Q-Series 6-year-old, Q-Series 10-year-old, Hybrid III 10-year-old, and the 5th percentile female ATDs and compare them to age- and size-matched pediatric volunteers.
Clavicle Fractures Due to Belt Loading in Rear-Seated Adolescent Occupants

Principal Investigator: John H. Bolte IV, PhD


The objectives of this research are to investigate the fracture tolerance of the pediatric clavicle through statistical, analytical, and radiological techniques. Using information obtained from crash data, the study will examine the sensitivity of the pediatric shoulder's response to belt loading in both oblique and frontal loading scenarios.
Clavicle Fractures Due to Belt Loading in Rear-Seated Adolescent Occupants

Principal Investigator: Kristy Arbogast, PhD


The objectives of this research are to investigate the fracture tolerance of the pediatric clavicle through statistical, analytical, and radiological techniques. Using information obtained from crash data, the study will examine the sensitivity of the pediatric shoulder's response to belt loading in both oblique and frontal loading scenarios.
Biomechanical Response of the Pediatric Ankle

Principal Investigator: John H. Bolte IV, PhD


Data obtained in this study will provide information on the mechanics of the pediatric ankle joint. Using data regarding the geometry, range of motion, and static/dynamic responses of the ankle, the biofidelity of child ATDs can be improved. Accomplishing a biofidelic response in the child's ankle joint will improve the response of the entire lower extremity, resulting in more accurate prediction of pediatric injury.
Evaluation of Hyperthermia Prevention Technologies

Principal Investigator: Kristy Arbogast, PhD


Principal Investigator: Kristy Arbogast, PhD, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

The objective of this study is to evaluate countermeasures designed to prevent children 0 to 24 months of age from being left behind in closed, parked vehicles, which has the potential to result in hyperthermia.

2008-2009

Effect of Seat and Seat Belt Geometry on Abdominal Injuries in Belt-Restrained Children

Principal Investigator: Kristy Arbogast, PhD


The primary objective of this study is to identify the quantitative characteristics of seat and seat belt geometry that lead to abdominal injury in seat belt-restrained child occupants.
Painful Spine Injury in Children and Young Adults: Integrated Biomechanics and Pain Modeling
This project expands an in vivo model of facet-mediated painful injury to provide injury data for children and young adults. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the role of age in painful neck injuries and to address whether and how the tolerances and mechanisms for this class of injuries are altered in different aged populations.
Cervical Range of Motion of Children and Adult Volunteers

Principal Investigator: Matthew R. Maltese, PhD


The primary objective of this study is to compare the static passive cervical spine flexion of children of specific age groups (6-8, 9-12, 13-15) with adults.
State-of-the-Art Science: An Update on Child and Adolescent Injury Research and Prevention
This study provides the CChIPS members with a biannual, state-of-the-art summary of the current research, outreach, legislature and media coverage on child and adolescent injury prevention.
Understanding and Optimizing the Advanced Restraint Systems for Rear- Seated Occupants Using MADYMO and ModeFRONTIER
This study will conduct evaluation and optimization of rear-seated occupant protection performance by pretentioner and load limiter for different occupant sizes in typical vehicle rear seat conditions using MADYMO and modeFRONTIER.
Child Restraint Systems in Side Impact Crashes: Injury Patterns and Causation (Multiple Year Project)

Principal Investigator: Kristy Arbogast, PhD


The objective of this study is to further understand side impact protection for child restraints through an analysis of the structural interaction between the child restraint system and the vehicle.
