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 …

Background and objective Neural reflex is hypothesized as a regulating step in spine
stabilizing system. However, neural reflex control is still in its infancy to consider in the …

Background Understanding the biomechanical effects of cervical disc degeneration (CDD)
on the cervical spine is fundamental for understanding the mechanisms of spinal disorders …

In spine biomechanics, follower loads are used to mimic the in vivo muscle forces acting on
a human spine. However, the effects of the follower load on the continuous biomechanical …

The biomechanical study helps us to understand the mechanics of the human cervical spine.
A three dimensional Finite Element (FE) model for C3 to C6 level was developed using …

Introduction: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a standard procedure for
treating symptomatic cervical degenerative disease. The cage and plate constructs (CPCs) …

Although a number of finite element (FE) adult cervical spine models have been developed
to understand the injury mechanisms of the neck in automotive related crash scenarios …

Epidemiological and clinical studies show that the magnitude and scope of cervical disease
are on the rise, along with the world's rising aging population. From a biomechanical …

Finite element (FE) analysis has proven to be useful when studying the biomechanics of the
cervical spine. Although many FE studies of the cervical spine have been published, they …

Computational models of the human neck have been developed to assess human response
in impact scenarios; however, the assessment and validation of such models is often limited …
