Injury Biomechanics of a Child’s Head: Problems, Challenges and Possibilities with a new aHEAD Finite Element Model

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health problem among children. The predominant causes of TBI in young children are motor vehicle accidents, firearm incidents, falls, and child abuse. The limitation of in vivo studies on the human brain has made the finite element modelling an importan...
