Biomechanics of cervical spine and spinal cord injury under combined axial compression and lateral bending loading

Cervical spine and spinal cord injuries are significant health concerns. Although lateral forces are present during real-world head-first impacts, there is a lack of information about combined lateral bending moments with axial compression. The general aim of this research was to evaluate the effect...
