Moment Measurements in Dynamic and Quasi Static Spine Segment Testing Using Eccentric Compression are Susceptible to Artifacts Based on Loading Configuration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The tolerance of the spine to bending moments, used for evaluation of injury prevention devices, is often determined through eccentric axial compression experiments using segments of the cadaver spine. Preliminary experiments ...
Repeatability of a Dislocation Spinal Cord Injury Model in a Rat—A High-Speed Biomechanical Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dislocation is the most common, and severe, spinal cord injury (SCI) mechanism in humans, yet there are few preclinical models. While dislocation in the rat model has been shown to produce unique outcomes, like other closed ...
Compressive Follower Load Influences Cervical Spine Kinematics and Kinetics During Simulated Head First Impact in an in Vitro Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current understanding of the biomechanics of cervical spine injuries in headfirst impact is based on decades of epidemiology, mathematical models, and in vitro experimental studies. Recent mathematical modeling suggests ...
The Effect of Compression Applied Through Constrained Lateral Eccentricity on the Failure Mechanics and Flexibility of the Human Cervical Spine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In contrast to sagittal plane spine biomechanics, little is known about the response of the cervical spine to axial compression with lateral eccentricity of the applied force. This study evaluated the effect of lateral ...
