Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / medical diagnoses | | Spanish term or phrase: aceleración-desaceleración de arriba hacia abajo | This is from a Colombian plane crash report, relating to passenger injuries.
Here's the immediate context:
Las lesiones leves cervicales documentadas fueron por fracturas por compresión, ejercidas por “la gravedad Y” ACELERACION-DESACELERACION DE ARRIBA HACIA ABAJO sin haber lesión de medula.
I would like to know if there is a technical term for this phrase. Otherwise, I can just describe it as is. |

Explanation:
de arriba hacia abajo = from top to bottom aunque el contexto no nos indica si es de arriba hacia abajo por la dirección del avión o de arriba hacia abajo en los cuerpos. Saludos!
