Abstract Knowledge of neck muscle activation strategies before sporting impacts is crucial
for investigating mechanisms of severe spinal injuries. However, measurement of muscle …

Concerns surrounding concussions from impacts to the head necessitate research to
generate new knowledge about ways to prevent them and reduce risk. In this paper, we …

This study aims to provide an overview of the recent developments in understanding
multiscale traumatic brain injury (TBI) mechanisms from a multidisciplinary perspective. TBI …

Objective The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to study effects of breathing
reeducation in the treatment of patients with non specific chronic neck pain. Methods A total …

In studying traumatic brain injury (TBI), it has been long hypothesized that the head is more
vulnerable to injury from impacts in certain directions or locations, as the relationship …

Objective: Neck muscle activation plays an important role in maintaining posture and
preventing trauma injuries of the head-neck system, levels of which are primarily controlled …

This study presents an in silico finite element (FE) model-based biomechanical analysis of
brain injury metrics and associated risks of a soccer ball impact to the head for aware and …

Background Concussion is one of the most common injuries in male professional Rugby
Union ('rugby') and accounts for significant time loss from training and competition. Despite …

Objective Athletic performance can be enhanced immediately after an isometric warm-up, a
phenomenon termed post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE). While isometric …

Catastrophic cervical spine injuries in rugby often occur during tackling. The underlying
mechanisms leading to these injuries remain unclear, with neck hyperflexion and buckling …
