Magnetic resonance imaging-based relationships between neck muscle cross-sectional area and neck circumference for adults and children
Abstract
BackgroundComputer models and human surrogates used to study the forces and motion of the human neck under various loading conditions are based solely on adult data. Pediatric computer models and dummy surrogates used to improve the safety of children could be improved with the inclusion of previously unavailable pediatric muscle data.MethodsMeasurements of neck circumference and neck muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) were taken from ten 50th …
