SARAÇ, HLAPORTE, SébastienSANDOZ, BaptisteAbstract
The aim of the present study is to model the dynamic of the head/neck complex to understand muscle stabilization strategies. The boundary conditions of the model are based on previous in vivo experiments on 20 volunteers seated on an accelerated sled in frontal direction (Sandoz et al. 2016). Some of these volunteers performed EOS Xray images in order to personnalize geometrical parameters. EOS imaging system is a low dose X-rays acquisition system allowing to perform bi-planar acquisition of the subject’s cervical spine. From these X-rays, the 3D personalized geometry of each volunteer’s head neck complex can be built.
