A study was carried out to develop a finite element model of the human shoulder in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the injury mechanism and the kinematics of the shoulder in side impacts. Experimental data obtained from lateral impact sled tests of 17 cadavers conducted at Wayne State University were used to validate the model. Impact forces in four regions, specifically, the shoulder, thorax, abdomen and pelvis, were calculated by the model and were compared with forces obtained experimentally from rigid wall impacts at 6.7m/s and padded wall impacts at 8.9m/s.
