Military personnel face unique challenges and occupational loads under difficult conditions that put them atsignificant risk for musculoskeletal injury. Improved technology and assistive exoskeletons have increased soldierhead supported mass (HSM), and it is believed current HSM requirements exceeds functional occupational limits ofwhat can be borne safely, contributing to cervical spine (C-spine) musculoskeletal injury risk. A subset of thesefunctional limits has been investigated through the lens of helicopter and fixed wing aviation pilot HSM with respectto two specific scenarios, vibrational loading and high G events. These studies used both experimental andmodeling approaches to develop HSM design criterion.
