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 …

Falls from height constitute the largest group of incidents out of approximately 90,000
occupational accidents occurring each year in Poland. Reconstruction of the exact course of …

Virtual reality (VR) techniques are becoming increasingly popular. The use of computer
modeling and visualization is no longer uncommon in the area of ergonomics and …

Experimental studies have found significant variation in cervical intervertebral kinematics
(IVK) among healthy subjects, but the effect of this variation on biomechanical properties …

Impact situations, usually involving high-G accelerations, typically take less than 40 ms to
occur. In such scenarios human subjects behave in a passive-like manner as muscle …

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 …

A complete three-dimensional multi-body dynamic computational model of the human head
and neck has been developed and validated using human volunteer experimental data. The …

A two-dimensional lumped-parameter simulation of the head and neck has been carried out
to capture the dynamic whiplash response during rear-end collisions in the sagittal plane …

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 …

Due to a high number of accidents at work, actions have been undertaken to apply
numerical simulation for reconstruction of their course in time. First works on this issue …
