Safety devices meant to protect the head and neck are often evaluated with the use of an
anthropometric test device. Anthropometric test devices are designed for a specific loading …

Millions of people worldwide suffer from spinal cord injuries (SCIs) and traumatic brain
injuries (TBIs) annually. Safety devices meant to protect against SCIs and TBIs, such as …

Neck injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents is a recurrent problem. To prevent the
injury risks, companies have started to develop specific personal protective equipment for …

In helmet impact testing, parameters including acceleration and velocity are measured using
instrumented head-neck models that are meant to be mechanically realistic (ie biofidelic) …

Abstract Background Context The range of motion is a well-accepted parameter for the
assessment and evaluation of cervical motion. However, more qualitative data of the …

The passive torsional responses of the human cervical spine were investigated using
unembalmed cervical spines in a dynamic test environment. Kinematic constraints were …

2. Materials and methods Medical imaging was acquired by computed tomography in
neutral position for nine specimens. Individual morphometric data were extracted for each …

Objective: Physical biomechanical surrogates are critical for testing the efficacy of injury-
mitigating safety strategies. The interpretation of measured Hybrid III neck loads in test …

Globally, millions of spinal cord injuries (SCIs) and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) occur
annually [WHO, 2013],[Dewan, 2019], most commonly in vehicular crashes, falls and sports …

Properties of the human neck such as range and resistance to motion are considered
important determinants of the kinematic response of the head pre, during and post-impact …
