Abdomen Deflection Rate
Overview
Required Signals
- Rib Deflection, Chest Deflection, or Rib Abdomen Deflection (Y)
Calculation
- Filter the deflection data (CFC =180)
- Truncate to clip when time < 0
- Differentiate to calculate deflection rate
- Compare to IARV
Injury Criteria
Abdomen deflection rate injury criteria [1].

|---|---|---|
| SID - IIs | 8.3 | 8.3 |
| BioSID | 8.3 | 8.3 |
