There is currently no established injury criterion for the spine in compression with lateral
load components despite this load combination commonly contributing to spinal injuries in …

Traumatic cervical facet dislocation (CFD) is often associated with devastating spinal cord
injury. Facet fractures commonly occur during CFD, yet quantitative measures of facet …

The subaxial cervical facets are important load-bearing structures, yet little is known about
their mechanical response during physiological or traumatic intervertebral motion. Facet …

Purpose Determine the effects of dynamic injurious axial compression applied at various
lateral eccentricities (lateral distance to the centre of the spine) on mechanical flexibilities …

The cervical spine experiences shear forces during everyday activities and injurious events
yet there is a paucity of biomechanical data characterizing the cervical spine under shear …

Almost half of motor vehicle accident (MVAs) victims experience traumatic spinal cord
injuries (SCI), which are often associated with rollover accidents. Specifically, rollovers have …

Background CT is considered the best method for vertebral fracture detection clinically, but
its efficacy in laboratory studies is unknown. Therefore, our objective was to determine the …

In contrast to sagittal plane spine biomechanics, little is known about the response of the
cervical spine to axial compression with lateral eccentricity of the applied force. This study …

Traumatic spinal cord injury initiates a complex pathophysiological process that eventually
manifests as persistent tissue damage and possible permanent loss of neurologic function …
