Background As the work load has been shifting from heavy manufacturing to office work,
neck disorders are increasing. However, most of the current cervical spine biomechanical …

Background In spite of the prevalence of occupational neck disorders as a result of work
force fluctuating from industry to sedentary office work, most cervical spine computational …

Relatively few biomechanical models exist aimed at quantifying the mechanical risk factors
associated with neck pain. In addition, there is a need to validate spinal-rhythm techniques …

Experimental studies using human volunteers are limited to low acceleration impacts while
whole cadavers, isolated cervical spine specimens, and impact dummies do not normally …

The cervical region is a frequent site of injury in the spinal column. Most of the injuries are
caused by auto-mobile accidents and are soft tissue injuries. 8, 19 Cervical spine fractures …

EMG-driven musculoskeletal modeling is a method in which loading on the active and
passive structures of the cervical spine may be investigated. A model of the cervical spine …

Study Design. A cervical spine biomechanical investigation using multibody dynamics.
Objective. To develop a comprehensive cervical spine multibody dynamics model …

There are different approaches to Predict the nonlinear moment–rotation relationship and
evaluate internal loads and muscle forces of the human cervical spine. In this study a …

Advanced computational human body models (HBM) enabling enhanced safety require
verification and validation at different levels or scales. Specifically, the motion segments …

This study developed a three-dimensional biomechanical model to investigate the internal
loads on the human neck that result from isometrically generated loads resisted by a force …
