    Abstracts are desired in all areas of traumatic injury biomechanics research, including human subject testing, sports injury studies, crash safety evaluation, and anthropomorphic dummy research. All selected presenters will prepare a written manuscript to be included in the symposium proceedings.

    Keynote Speaker: Stephen W. Rouhana, Ford Motor Company

    Panel Discussion: Aerospace Biomechanics
    Featuring: Former Astronaut - Nancy J. Currie, Ph.D. (Colonel, USA, Ret.)
