.... 18 11 2013 10 10 2014 16 10 2014 The tolerance of the spine to bending moments, used for evaluation of injury prevention devices, is often determined through eccentric axial compression experiments using segments of the cadaver spine. Preliminary experiments in our laboratory...

... kinematics cadaver injury prevention Cervical spine injuries with associated spinal cord injuries occur as a result of axial impact and spine compression in motor vehicle rollovers [ 1-6 ], falls [ 7 , 8 ], and several sports such as tackling in football [ 9-12 ] and (top of) head-to-board impacts...

...Lyle T. Jackson; Patrick M. Aubin; Matthew S. Cowley; Bruce J. Sangeorzan; William R. Ledoux The symptomatic flatfoot deformity (pes planus with peri-talar subluxation) can be a debilitating condition. Cadaveric flatfoot models have been employed to study the etiology of the deformity, as well...

... pressures, determined from FE analysis to tibial plateau contact pressures measured in a cadaveric knee in vitro. Several models of the implant, some including embedded reinforcement fibers, were tested. An optimal implant configuration was then selected based on the ability to restore pressure distribution...

... distribution ability of various meniscal implant configurations in human cadaveric knees ( n = 3 ) . Contact pressures under the intact meniscus were measured under compression (1200 N, 0 deg flexion). Next, total meniscectomy was performed and the protocol was repeated with meniscal implants. Resultant...
