Lumbar Flexion Test Fixture - TE-800

The Lumar Flexion Test Fixture certifies the response of the Hybrid II 50th Male lumbar spine to a continuously applied forward force.  This is a lumbar flexion test and it requires the use of the assembled thorax, lumbar, abdomen, and thigh assembly.  This is considered a system test for the certification of the abdomen according to the federal rules and regulations stated for the 49 CFR Part 572.9 Subpart B Anthropomorphic Test Devices.  The dummy's pelvis and thighs are fixed in place to the fixture.  The load is applied by use of a spine box with a push force gauge and readings are taken at specific points throughout the range of motion.

 

The fixture includes all necessary brackets and hardware as well as the required push scale.
