Head and Neck Response of an Active 2 Human Body Model and Finite Element 3 Anthropometric Test Device During a 4 Linear Impactor Helmet Test
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2020-02-01)It has been proposed that neck muscle activation may play a role in head response resulting from impacts in American Football. The importance of neck stiffness and active musculature in the standard Linear Impactor Helmet ... -
Load-sharing and kinematics of the human cervical spine under multi-axial transverse shear loading: combined experimental and computational investigation
(National Library of Medicine, 2021-06)The cervical spine experiences shear forces during everyday activities and injurious events yet there is a paucity of biomechanical data characterizing the cervical spine under shear loading. This study aimed to 1) ... -
Multi-scale modeling of head kinematics and brain tissue response to blast exposure
(Springer, 2019-09-15)Injuries resulting from blast exposure have been increasingly prevalent in recent conflicts, with a particular focus on the risk of head injury. In the current study, a multibody model (GEBOD) was used to investigate the ... -
Normative kinematics of reaching and dexterity tasks: moving towards a quantitative baseline for Functional Capacity Evaluations(FCEs)
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-12-15)Purpose: This work generates a comprehensive description of upper extremity and torso kinematics of a healthy population during reaching and dexterity Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) tasks. Methods: Upper limb and ...
