What is Sensitivity of Scale Factor Choice on Injury Response for Equal-stress Equal-velocity Scaling about?

## Objective: This study aims to evaluate the assumption of geometric similitude inherent to equal-stress equal-velocity scaling by determining if scale factors created with different anthropometry metrics result in different scaled injury tolerance predictions. this assumption will be evaluated when equal-stress equal-velocity scaling is employed across dissimilar (e.g., 50 male to small female) and similar (e.g., small female to a reference small female anthropometry) anthropometries. ## Methods: Three average male and three small female lower extremity specimens that were tested in ankle inversion/eversion were selected for scaling analysis. three additional female specimens were selected as a reference dataset, such that the accuracy of the scaled data could be compared to an independent measured dataset. the failure moments, total height and total weight for these donors were determined from literature. additional anthropometry metrics (leg length, calcaneus height, and bimalleolar width) were taken from each of their respective ct scans. scale factors were calculated from these previously determined anthropometric metrics for the six donors selected for scaling analysis by ta
