Abstract

The human cervical spinal column has to resist physiologic as well as traumatic forces. Under these conditions it is important to maintain the normal functional relationships between the bony elements of the spine and the cervical spinal cord. The purpose of this paper is to present the dynamic force-deformation corridors under compressive loading for human cadaver head-neck complex, to describe the injury tolerance of the human cadaver cervical column under compression related forces, and to describe the effect of pre-alignment condition of the cervical spinal column on the resulting injury mechanism and biomechanical parameters.
