Purpose This study aimed to investigate the role of neck muscle activity and neck damping
characteristics in traumatic brain injury (TBI) mechanisms. Methods We used a previously …

With the rising concern of concussions in contact sports, it is believed that cervical muscles
could play a vital role in attenuating force to the head. However, the biomechanical effect of …

Purpose This study aimed to develop and validate a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-
based biofidelic head-neck finite element (FE) model comprised of scalp, skull, CSF, brain …

Increased neck musculature has been hypothesized to lower the risk of mild traumatic brain
injury (mTBI), but this lacks experimental evidence. Here, it was hypothesized that due to low …

In this paper, head–neck boundary conditions and modeling of the head are studied
circumspectly. The neck is modeled using discrete elements and the head model is three …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussion, is a
severe health concern. Many symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, and working memory …

Mechanical response of the human head under a side car crash impact is crucial for
modeling traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or concussions. The current advances in …

Translational and rotational accelerations from blunt head impact can induce excessive
brain strain and cause traumatic brain injuries. However, it is not clear which acceleration …

In this study, using computational biomechanics models, we investigated influence of the
skull-brain interface modeling approach and the material property of cerebrum on the …

Sports-related mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a growing public health concern, affecting
millions in the US, annually. Current helmets are primarily designed to mitigate head …
