Female Spine Prototype a Game-changer for Research

Researchers at Neuroscience Research Australia's (NeuRA) Transurban Road Safety Centre have developed a prototype lumbar spine that more accurately mimics the spine of a small adult, around the size of a 12-year-old girl. Previously, researchers could not accurately study specific injury risks in small occupants because the lumbar spine of the existing smaller-adult crash test dummy was too stiff.
