Contributions of Muscle Fatigue to a Neuromuscular Neck Injury in Female Standard Ballroom Dancers
… investigate the potential etiology of a loss of neck control injury in female standard ballroom dancers. The median frequency (MF) as measured by electromyography (EMG) of the left upper trapezius (UT), left splenius capitius (SPL), and right sternocleidomastoid (SCM) of injured dancers was …

Head and Neck Injury Risk Predicted by Finite Element ATDs and Human Body Models in the Aerospace Landing Environment
… status and self-egress capability. The head and neck are two regions of the body that if injured can drastically affect these two areas. Furthermore, the knowledge around closed-head injury is not complete. Currently, the Hybrid III and Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint (THOR) are in use …

Back and neck pain: Patterns in healthcare consultations
… People diagnosed with whiplash associated neck injury had higher healthcare consultation rates already three years before the neck injury and the postinjury consultation level was associated with the preinjury consultation levels. Low socioeconomic status was associated with being diagnosed …

Anti-Rotation Load Leg Effects on Crash Injury Metrics Under Child Restraint System Misuse
… intensify the risk of severe or fatal head and neck injuries (e.g., whiplash, traumatic brain, spinal, neck, chest contusions, other internal organs). Although anti-rotational devices, such as load legs, have shown potential in mitigating injury metrics, their efficacy for rear-facing infant CRS …
