Spinal cord impacts can have devastating consequences. Computational models can
investigate such impacts but require biofidelic numerical representations of the neural …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to obtain the stress-strain of the cervical spine
structure during the simulated manipulation of the oblique pulling manipulation and the …

Brain and spinal cord injuries have devastating consequences on quality of life but are
challenging to assess experimentally due to the traumatic nature of such injuries. Finite …

We propose and rigorously analyze a semi-and fully discrete discontinuous Galerkin method
for an initial and boundary value problem describing inertial viscoelasticity in terms of elastic …

Finite element head models offer great potential to study brain-related injuries; however, at
present may be limited by geometric and material property simplifications required for …

Acute spinal cord injuries (SCI) have a global annual occurrence rate of 14 to 40 per million
population with considerable societal cost. The primary mechanism of injury involves …

This thesis explores the correlation between mechanical impact and neurological damage in
spinal cord injury (SCI) through computational modeling and machine learning (ML). It …

Non-traumatic spinal cord injuries (NT-SCI) represent a number of pathologies which vary in
progression and symptom presentation. Chronic mechanical compression is known to alter …

Background Finite element modeling (FEM) is an established tool to analyze the
biomechanics of complex systems. Advances in computational techniques have led to the …
