- Abstract:
- Whiplash injuries which occur mainly in rear end collision are the most frequent injuries reported in traffic accidents. In the available literature there are various approaches to solving and explaining whiplash movement of head and neck. The M.D.Freeman et al. mention a number of more than 10000 works related generally to phenomenon of whiplash movement of head and neck. Regardless of the fact that the mentioned movement has been the subject of numerous studies and discussions, it is still lacking clarity and research. In this work measurements have been carried out with the aim of determining the kinematics magnitudes of movement. Different movements of head and neck have also been defined, which were considered as being useful in determining the data for the interpretation of whiplash movement of head and neck.
