Abstract:
In order to determine man's tolerance, clinical symptoms of craniocerebral injuries were compared with physical characteristics of impacts. A ranking scheme of clinical manifestations of craniocerebral injuries as applied to specific flight conditions was developed. With respect to the craniocerebral injury biomechanics, clinical data were taken under statistical study, which helped to evaluate impact critical parameters and to propose a graphic scheme that can be used to describe in detail the accident and to estimate the probability of injuries of various degree over the entire range encountered in aviation and clinical practice.
