TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Effects of controlled muscle activations on human head-neck responses during low-speed rear impacts JO - Accident reconstruction journal A1 - Kato, Daichi A1 - Kimpara, Hideyuki A1 - Nakahira, Yuko A1 - Iwamot, Masami SP - pp 19 EP - 20 VL - 27 IS - 3 N2 - In this study, the authors explore the physical mechanisms associated with whiplash. They evaluate an activation controller and its resulting effects by using a finite element model of the human body with active muscles to determine head-neck responses during low-speed rear impacts. In the simulated low-speed rear impact test, the activated muscles generally maintained the head rotational angle toward the initial posture of the head-neck model.
