The non-physiological motions of human cervical vertebrae were analyzed in volunteer tests
for rear-end impacts and were considered to be an important parameter for neck injuries …

Twelve volunteers participated in the experiment under the supervision of Tsukuba
University Ethics Committee. The subjects sat on a seat mounted on a newly developed sled …

In the current study, the finite element model of the cervical spine with muscles, previously
applied to an investigation of the head-neck complex responses in frontal impacts, was …

In an attempt to better understand the mechanism of motion of human cervical vertebrae
during low-speed impacts, the motion of the cervical vertebrae was analyzed using …

To clarify the mechanism that causes injury to the neck during rear-end collisions, the neck
behavior of volunteer test subjects was carefully analyzed. As a result, stretch propagation …

Study Design. This study used rigid-body and finite-element models of forces in the cervical
spine resulting from a rear-end motor vehicle impact based on data from 26 volunteer …

The purpose of this study is to clarify the dynamic characteristics of inertia-induced cervical
vertebral kinematics for both female and male volunteers in low-speed rear impact …

The purpose of this study is to clarify the neck injury mechanism during low speed rear
impact. Low speed rear impact tests on human volunteers were conducted using a mini-sled …

The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of dynamic head/neck/torso and
cervical vertebral motion for females and males in a rear impact by reanalyzing two series of …

A detailed, three-dimensional, head—neck (vertebral segments C0 to C7) finite element
model—developed and validated previously on the basis of the actual geometry of a …
