Abstract

A method of extending the results of experiments on concussion producing head rotations on lower primate subjects to predict the rotations required to produce concussions in man is presented. The scaling factors presented herein tentatively indicate that an acceleration of 7,500 radians per second 2 will have the same probability of producing concussion in man.
