Male and female whole-body human finite element models were used. The restrained occupants were positioned on the seat, and caudo-cephalad impacts were applied to the base. Different acceleration-time profiles (50\u2013200\u2009ms pulse durations, 11\u201346\u2009g peak accelerations) were used as inputs in both models. The resulting stress\u2013strain profiles in the cortical and cancellous bones were evaluated at different vertebral levels. Using the peak transmitted forces at the thoracolumbar disc level as the response variable, the probability of injury for the male spine was obtained from experimental risk curves for the various pulses. Results showed that the shorter pulse durations and rise times impart greater loading on the thoracolumbar spine. The analysis of von Mises stress and strain distributions showed that the compression-related fractures are multifaceted with contributions from both the cortical and cancellous bony components of the body. Profiles are provided in the paper. The intervertebral disc may be involved in the fracture mechanism, because it acts as a medium of load transfer between adjacent vertebrae. Injury risks for the shortest pulse was 63%, and for the widest pulse it was close to zero, and injury probabilities for other pulses are given. The present modeling study provides insights into the mechanisms of internal load transfer and describes injury risk levels from caudal to cephalad impacts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4049523","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,13]],"date-time":"2021-01-13T05:54:09Z","timestamp":1610517249000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Human Thoracolumbar Spine Tolerance to Injury and Mechanisms From Caudo-Cephalad Loading: A Parametric Modeling Study"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Narayan","family":"Yoganandan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering, Center for NeuroTrauma Research, Department of Neurosurgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prashant","family":"Khandelwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for NeuroTrauma Research, Department of Neurosurgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vaibhav","family":"Porwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for NeuroTrauma Research, Department of Neurosurgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Humm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for NeuroTrauma Research, Department of Neurosurgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anjishnu","family":"Banerjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biostatistics, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022040715180241200_bib1","first-page":"277","article-title":"Thoracolumbar Spine Fractures in Frontal Impact Crashes","volume":"56","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ann.
