Recently, the Euro-New Car Assessment Program utilized a newly developed metric called diffuse axonal multi-axis general evaluation (DAMAGE) to explain test device for human occupant restraint (THOR) head injury, which demonstrated excellent ability in capturing concussions and diffuse axonal injuries. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the effectiveness of using DAMAGE for Hybrid Ⅲ 50th percentile male dummy (H50th) head injury assessment. The objective of this study is to determine whether the DAMAGE could capture the risk of H50th brain injury during small overlap barrier tests.<h4>MeChinese journal of traumatology = Zhonghua chuang shang za zhi200-210https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11357770biostudies-literatureA study on the application of diffuse axonal multi-axis general evaluation for brain injury assessment in small overlap barrier crash test.PMC11357770Liu YFu ZXiong TLi KChang YGao WKfalseA study on the application of diffuse axonal multi-axis general evaluation for brain injury assessment in small overlap barrier crash test.<h4>Purpose</h4>Head injury criterion (HIC) companied by a rotation-based metric was widely believed to be helpful for head injury prediction in road traffic accidents.
