Abstract	The purpose of this paper is to discuss the performance requirements for THOR-FLx, the methodology used in its development, results of component tests, and the biofidelity tests conducted on the full assembly. The new THOR-FLx has been developed for immediate use as an alternative lower leg/ankle/foot system for the Hybrid II 5th percentile female dummy and has proven to be robust with no significant failures in the testing conditions.
