Developing Experimental Cervical Dummy Models for Testing Low-speed Rear-end Collisions
In recent years, many studies have been made in the biomechanical and other fields on, “whiplash” or cervical vertical sprain which is on type of injury sustained by vehicle occupants in low-speed rear-end collisions. This paper describes a cervical analysis of whiplash occurring in the lower rear-end collision. In particular, it describes the use of a more humanized biomechanical cervical mode...
متن کاملMotion Analysis of Human Cervical Vertebrae Du Ring Low Speed Rear Impacts by the Simulated Sled
In the pursuit of the mechanism of minor neck injuries, the motion of the cervical vertebrae was analyzed under different conditions such as the seating position and seat performance characteristics. At first, a new impact sied was developed which simulated actual car impact acceleration. This did not involve any risks for the subjects. Ten volunteers participated in the experiment under the su...
متن کاملEvaluation of ProDisc-C During Low Speed Rear-End Impact: A Full-Body Post Mortem Human Subject Study
INTRODUCTION: The potential for harm following low speed rear-end impact for cervical total disc replacement patients is yet unknown. These are among the most common motor vehicle accidents. With FDA approval and as widespread implantation becomes reality, questions of occupant safety must be addressed. Previous studies have tested the cervical spine using isolated head-neck specimens. Yet, suc...
متن کاملImpact characteristics of a vehicle population in low speed front to rear collisions.
Rear impact collisions are mostly low severity, but carry a very high societal cost due to reported symptoms of whiplash and related soft tissue injuries. Given the difficulty in physiological measurement of damage in whiplash patients, there is a significant need to assess rear impact severity on the basis of vehicle damage. This paper presents fundamental impact equations on the basis of an e...
متن کاملDo "whiplash injuries" occur in low-speed rear impacts?
A study was conducted to find out whether in a rear-impact motor vehicle accident, velocity changes in the impact vehicle of between 10 and 15 km/h can cause so-called "whiplash injuries". An assessment of the actual injury mechanism of such whiplash injuries and comparison of vehicle rear-end collisions with amusement park bumper car collisions was also carried out. The study was based on expe...
