Objective. The responses and contributions of the soft tissue structures of the human neck
are described with a focus on mathematical modeling. Spinal ligaments, intervertebral discs …

The authors present a comprehensive state-of-the-art and critical review of the finite element
models of the human cervical spine. They also focused on the developments in model …

Study Design. A finite element model of the ligamentous cervical spinal segment was used
to compute loads in various structures in response to clinically relevant loading modes …

Finite element analysis is a widely accepted tool used in many industries and research
activities. It allows new designs to be thoroughly 'tested'before a prototype is even …

Abstract Numerous spine Finite Element (FE) models have been developed to assess spinal
tolerances, spinal loadings and low back pain-related issues. However, justified …

The cervical spine poses many complex challenges that require complex solutions. Anterior
cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been one such technique often employed to …

The human neck is vulnerable. In car accidents, inertia farces of the head can load or deform
the tissues of the neck beyond tolerabie limits, resulting in injury. Most neck injuries are …

Study Design. The study examined the efficacy of the finite element models of various spinal
segments in predicting the vibration response of the human spine. Objective. To determine …

A computational head-neck model was developed to more efficiently study dynamic
responses of the head and neck to near-vertex head impact. The model consisted of rigid …

The human cervical spine is a complex structure that is the most frequently injured site
among all spinal injuries. Therefore, understanding of the cervical spine injury and …
