This study revealed that biofidelity assessed through response time histories and accuracy of injury risk predictions do not always align. Specifically, the HIII had marginally better time history biofidelity, whereas the THOR had better injury prediction. However, not all THOR responses could be fully assessed, so more work is needed to assess the THOR in complex loading environments.
