Abstract

For a better understanding of neck injury mechanism in lateral-collisions, experiments and analyses have been conducted on human head / neck / torso impact responses and cervical vertebral motions upon loading of lateral impacts from the shoulders of human volunteers. At the same time, differences in neck muscle responses between male and female volunteers have also been analyzed by means of experiments. Likewise, the differences between human volunteers and cadavers have been also studied and discussed.
