Biomechanical characterization of impacts in vivo. Parameters recorded during an impact in 8 different pigs using spring-load impactor, the spinal cord support and the vertebral column suspension systems. (A) Impact force. (B) Impact speed. (C) Radar plots showing the relationship among the force, the displacement, the speed, the duration, and the static force for each impact. (D) Comparison of the coefficient of variation for impact parameters recorded during weigh-drop (44 and 24-cm pipe), spring-load, and spring-load with supports.
