Neck injury is one of the most frequent spine injuries due to the complex structure of the
cervical spine. The high incidence of neck injuries in collision accidents can bring a heavy …

In this work, we propose a methodology to detect the severity of carotid stenosis from a video
of a human face with the help of a coupled blood flow and head vibration model. This semi …

This work presents passive and muscle-based models to predict the biodynamical response
of the human head–neck under fore-aft and combined-axis whole-body vibration …

We propose to model planar movements between two human segments by means of rolling-
without-slipping kinematic pairs. We compute the path traced by the instantaneous center of …

This paper presents the validation of a 50th-percentile male multi-body human model
specifically developed for rear-impact simulation. The aim is to develop a biofidelic model …

This study presents car seat concepts which are designed to mitigate whiplash injuries
through coordinated motion of seat components for a wide range of crash severities. In order …

This paper presents the development and study of a three-dimensional multi-body model of
the 50th percentile male human and discretized neck for the study of cervical spine injuries …

Spinal injury is one of the most debilitating and costly injuries. It is a devastating condition
that disrupts the life of the injured and their families. Vehicle crashes are the most common …

Objectives: This study presents an investigation of anti-whiplash features that can be
implemented in a car seat to reduce whiplash injuries in the case of a rear impact. The main …
