Comparison of Head and Neck Kinematics and Electromyography Response for Low-Speed Frontal Impacts with Pediatric and Young Adult Volunteers
No data exist on the electromyography (EMG) responses in children exposed to dynamic impacts and the resulting head and neck kinematics. The objective of the current study was to measure the EMG responses of the neck, torso and lower extremity in children and young adults during a low speed frontal impact using surface electrodes bilaterally and compare these muscle responses to key kinematic e...
متن کاملNeck Muscle Activation Levels during Frontal Impacts
Helmet-mounted systems, such as night vision goggles and helmet-mounted displays, are designed to enhance pilot performance; however, they may also affect pilot safety during ejection due to the change in helmet inertial properties. The effects of variable helmet weight and bracing ability on subject response during impact are unknown. Electromyogram (EMG) is a useful tool to investigate the me...
متن کاملComparison of Pediatric and Young Adult Far-side Head Kinematics in Low- Speed Lateral and Oblique Impacts
The importance of head injuries to restrained far seat occupants has been previously documented. Control of the kinematics leading to these injuries can likely be achieved by improved torso lateral restraint. In adults, seat belt pre-tensioning reduced lateral head displacement by approximately 200 mm in far-side impacts. Children, however, may demonstrate greater lateral movement as previous s...
متن کاملChanges in postural and trunk muscles responses in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain during sudden upper limb loading
Background: Alterations in the neuromuscular control of the spine were found in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Sudden loading of the spine is assumed to be the cause of approximately 12% of lower back injuries. However, some aspects of this problem, such as alterations in the sensory–motor control of the spine, remain questionable. This study investigated postural and neuro–motor...
متن کاملOccupant kinematics in low-speed frontal sled tests: Human volunteers, Hybrid III ATD, and PMHS.
A total of 34 dynamic matched frontal sled tests were performed, 17 low (2.5g, Δv=4.8kph) and 17 medium (5.0g, Δv=9.7kph), with five male human volunteers of approximately 50th percentile height and weight, a Hybrid III 50th percentile male ATD, and three male PMHS. Each volunteer was exposed to two impulses at each severity, one relaxed and one braced prior to the impulse. A total of four test...
