Abstract

The literature on cervical spine mechanics, including recent X ray studies on cervical spine mobility in human volunteers and human volunteer sled tests is reviewed and summarized with respect to human head-neck response to dynamic loading. The mechanics of the head-neck system is discussed; factors influencing dummy neck design are indicated; and the results of a program to develop an improved neck simulation are presented.
