Abstract

There is a paucity of data defining safe transport protocols for children treated with hip spica casting. While restraint devices for casted children are available, all federally mandated testing has been done using non-casted anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs), also known as crash test dummies. No current commercially available or specially designed restraint device has been tested using casted ATDs. In light of this significant lack of data, the purpose of this study was to evaluate current restraint options in simulated frontal crash testing using a casted pediatric ATD to determine injury to the head, cervical spine, chest, and pelvis.
