Abstract
The biomechanical criteria for standardization of experimental impact injury to the spinal cord are derived. The theory is verified experimentally using cats. The undesirable effect due to heavy impounders is discussed. A falling mass of 20 gm and a small impounder 5 mm in diameter with a mass of 0.1 gm are recommended, leaving the momentum of the falling body to be controlled for different degrees of trauma.Entities:
