Is anyone aware of studies of compressive forces in the lumbar spine in rear end collisions which can be applied to low impact collisions eg under 5mph.
Is there anything new in the data regarding the relationship between seat back failure in moderate speed collisions and lumbar spine injury?
I am interested in expert testimony in regard to a moderate impact seat back failure case with light up of a preexisting spondylolisthesis in a ~33year old laborer.
