This evaluation was based on results obtained from two separate test rigs exhibiting different loading mechanisms, namely the Test Rig for Occupant Safety Systems (TROSSTM) and the CSIR Lower Limb Impactor (LLI). The results show that the Mil-Lx lower leg appears to be robust and is less sensitive to loading method, temperature, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and position changes than other lower limb surrogates tested previously.enMilitary Extremity (MiL-Lx) legHIII legTROSSAnti-vehicular landminesImprovised explosive devicesHuman factorsMedicineArmour systemsPractical evaluation of the MiL-Lx lower leg when subjected to simulated vehicle under belly blast load conditionsConference PresentationPandelani, T.
