Shorter pregnant women restrained in the rear seat of a car are at risk for serious neck injuries: Biomechanical analysis using a pregnant crash test dummy

This study provides data on the kinematics of pregnant women of short height sitting in the rear seat during a frontal collision using a pregnant woman crash test dummy. The knowledge gathered from this study should be useful for determining pregnant women passengers' kinematics at the time of collision and evaluating the relationship between the vehicle collision and fetal outcomes.
