In this study, the responses of the HIII and MiL-Lx surrogate legs were evaluated at several blast loading conditions using the Modified Lower Limb Impactor. The impact tests were conducted using a lower limb impactor with the leg mounted vertically and attached to the knee of the Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD). The MiL-Lx leg is a recently developed surrogate, which has limited evaluation across the loading conditions. This work evaluated the MiL-Lx leg across a range of velocities from 2.7 to 10.2 m/s. The study also included the evaluation of the response of the surrogate legs when fitted with two different.
