... of antagonistic activities which would increase the joint stiffness around the Lumbosacral joint in response to gravity perturbation. Results would shed light on the interaction mechanisms in muscle activation patterns, seen in various performance indices. Spine Minimum-Torque change model Minimum-Jerk...

... 25 11 2008 The human spine is a geometrically, non-linear complex structure. Solid models are widely used in spine modelling studies. There is a need for developing a generic parametric spine model to be employed in biomechanical modelling of the spine to reduce the complexity...

... 25 11 2008 This paper presents the development and validation of a three-dimensional computational model of the human head and neck. The model has been produced to study the mechanics of the human cervical spine in response to automobile impacts. The complete head-neck model has been...
