A proposed tolerance criterion for diffuse axonal injury in man

Open access
Margulies, Susan Sheps, Thibault, Lawrence E.·1992·Journal of Biomechanics

Abstract

The head injury criterion (HIC) is currently the government-accepted head injury indicator. The HIC is not injury-specific, does not relate to injury severity, nor does it take into account variations in the brain mass or load direction. This report focuses on one type of inertial brain injury, diffuse axonal injury (DAI), and utilizes animal studies, physical model experiments, and analytical model simulations to determine the kinematics of DAI in the subhuman primate and to scale these results to man. A human injury tolerance for moderate to severe DAI, which includes the influences of rotational loads and brain mass, is proposed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
