Comparison of Neck Injury Criteria Values Across Human Body Models of Varying Complexity [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Due to the severity and frequency of cervical spine injuries, the neck injury criterion (Nij) was developed to provide a quantitative relationship between forces and moments of the upper neck with accompanied injury risk. The present study was undertaken
