Abstract:
1. An infant simulator, comprising: (a) a doll having at least a torso and a head connected to the torso by a neck linkage, wherein (i) the head defines a longitudinal primary axis, (ii) the longitudinal primary axis defined by the head defines a longitudinal resting axis relative to the torso when the head is in a central rest position, and (iii) the neck linkage allows gravitational tilting of the head in any direction from the longitudinal Testing axis as between the rest position and a bent position, (b) a means effective for sensing positioning of the head in the bent position, and (c) at least one of (i) a data recording means in communication with the head-position sensing means effective for recording a sensed positioning of the head in the bent position as bent-neck occurrence data, and (ii) a means in communication with the head-position sensing means for generating a perceptible distress signal when the head is sensed in the bent position.
