Abstract EN

Neck injury is one of the most frequent spine injuries due to the complex structure of the cervical spine.

The high incidence of neck injuries in collision accidents can bring a heavy economic burden to the society.

Therefore, knowing the potential mechanisms of cervical spine injury and dysfunction is significant for improving its prevention and treatment.

The research on cervical spine dynamics mainly concerns the fields of automobile safety, aeronautics, and astronautics.

Numerical simulation methods are beneficial to better understand the stresses and strains developed in soft tissues with investigators and have been roundly used in cervical biomechanics.

In this article, the simulation methods for the development and application of cervical spine dynamic problems in the recent years have been reviewed.

The study focused mainly on multibody and finite element models.

The structure, material properties, and application fields, especially the whiplash injury, were analyzed in detail.

It has been shown that simulation methods have made remarkable progress in the research of cervical dynamic injury mechanisms, and some suggestions on the research of cervical dynamics in the future have been proposed.
