Assessment of Human Trunk Kinetics Using a Multi-Segment Model: An Approach to Minimize the Propagation of Experimental Errors
DownloadSpring 2018
Evaluating several pathological conditions such as low-back pain, scoliosis, herniated discs, and postural stability after spinal cord injury or chronic stroke requires a deep understanding of the inter-spinal interactions. Assessing the kinetics of the human head-arms-trunk (HAT) could provide...

Toward a biofidelic and repeatable physical head-brain model for application in blunt impact
DownloadFall 2023
Headforms as a type of physical human head models are widely used in head injury research and for the design and assessment of safety gear. The mechanisms of head injury caused by blunt impact (a common loading scenario) are associated with global head kinematics and intracranial mechanics such...
