Simulated Automobile and Rotary-Wing Aircraft Impacts: Dynamic Neck Response after Surgical Treatment for Cervical Spondylosis
… in the lower cervical spine, presenting as axial neck pain, radiculopathy, myelopathy, or any combination of the three. When conservative treatment does not adequately manage these symptoms, surgical intervention may be required. The longstanding surgical treatment for cervical degeneration is …

Modeling viscoelastic responses of the head/neck system during pilot ejection
… body dynamics, has been chosen to simulate the response of the head and neck to an ejection-like acceleration. The present Viscoelastic configuration of the head/neck model, which is capable of head rotation and axial neck deformation, was validated with experimental head acceleration data from …

Biomechanical Response of Human Volunteers and Surrogates in a Variety of Loading Regimes
… of severities. Understanding the biomechanical response to loading in these environments can facilitate efforts in injury mitigation. Biomechanical responses can be quantified by performing controlled laboratory experiments with human volunteers and surrogates, such as anthropomorphic test …

Biomechanical Responses of Small Female Human Surrogates during Frontal Sled Tests using a Realistic Vehicle Environment
… compared to post-mortem human surrogate (PMHS) responses using a realistic, driver-seat environment to assess biofidelity or ability to predict injury. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare the responses of the two ATDs and small female PMHS in matched frontal sled tests …

Differences between adult and pediatric neck muscle stress due muscle recruitment patterns
… first child crash test dummy was developed. The responses of this dummy were scaled from the adult response data based on the assumption that children were similar to adults both anatomically and physiologically, only children were smaller. It was also assumed that the soft tissue response, such …
