The human cervical spine is a complex structure that is the most frequently injured site
among all spinal injuries. Therefore, understanding of the cervical spine injury and …

The wide variability, or heterogeneity, in human spinal cord injury is due partially to
biomechanical factors. This review summarizes our current knowledge surrounding the …

Fiber waviness is one of the most significant defects that occurs in composites due to the
severe knockdown in mechanical properties that it causes. This paper investigates the …

Traumatic spinal cord injuries result from high impact forces acting on the spine and are
proceeded by an extensive secondary inflammatory response resulting in motor, sensory …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a global problem that brings a heavy burden to both patients and
society. Recent investigations indicated degenerative disease is taking an increasing part in …

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

Compared to the outer dura mater, the mechanical behavior of spinal pia and arachnoid
meningeal layers has received very little attention in the literature. This is despite …

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 …

Distraction spinal cord injury is caused by some degree of distraction or longitudinal tension
on the spinal cord and commonly occurs in patients who undergo corrective operation for …

Finite element models combined with animal experimental models of spinal cord injury
provides the opportunity for investigating the effects of the injury mechanism on the neural …
