Biomechanical Analysis of Cervical Motion With a Pediatric Immobilization and Extrication Device.

Objective: To determine the motions produced during pediatric extrication when using a system of motion estriction and extrication.

Methods: Simulation-based biomechanical analysis study conducted with inertial sensors to measure motion produced in the cervical spine of a pediatric simulator during extrication from a vehicle.

Results: The mean of the movements was 3.

Self-extraction with and without a cervical collar: a biomechanical simulation study.

Objectives: To compare self-extraction with and without a cervical collar in subjects at low risk of cervical spine injuries.

Material And Methods: Simulation study analyzing biomechanical data from inertial sensors to detect misalignment of the cervical spine during self-extraction with and without a cervical collar.

Results: Misalignment was a mean (SD) 3.

[Biomechanical analysis of cervical spine movement on removal of motorcycle helmets].

Objectives: To measure cervical spine movement during removal of a motorcycle helmet by health care professionals.

Material And Methods: Observational study using biomechanical inertial sensors to detect movement in the spinal column during removal of helmets.

Results: Thirty-four emergency medicine specialists and nurses participated.
