Test Devices Test Surrogates A full family of anthropometric test devices are available from child (6 months to 12 years) to adult (5th percentile female, 50th percentile male, and 95th percentile male). Post-Mortem Human Subjects The Sport Injury Biomechanics Lab has the unique ability to conduct testing with post-mortem human subjects for research purposes.
Testing Equipment
	WSU Modified NOCSAE Headform The modified NOCSAE headform was developed at Wayne State University in an effort to evaluate issues surrounding the articulation of the mandible with the base of the skull or the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Three load cells are located within the headform and include a maxillary load cell and two load cells at the TMJ (vertical and fore/aft).
	Linear Impactor High speed player-to-player impacts can be simulated using the linear impactor. Helmet-to-helmet dynamics can be evaluated as well.
	Drop Stand Impact anvils and headforms are available to test to all current test standards for design and research purposes. Additional equipment is available to evaluate player-to-field or player-to-equipment impacts. The test apparatus allows drops up to 15 feet with impact velocities approaching 20 mph.
	Air Cannon The modular design of this device allows the air cannon to fire a wide variety of projectiles. Baseballs, softballs, and hockey pucks can be fired at velocities up to 100 mph. Helmets and chest protectors have been evaluated using this device.
	Punch Machine Endorsed by the USA Boxing Association, WSU is the exclusive test facility for the evaluation of protective equipment for amateur boxing in the United States. Straight punches and jabs ranging from 100 ft-lb to over 300 ft-lb can be simulated using this device.
