If you were designing a new back brace, trying it out on people could be kind of risky – what if it was flawed, and ended up hurting the test subjects? It was with this in mind that scientists at ...

Engineers have for the first time created a simulator mimicking the mechanical behavior of the human torso - which could lead to innovations in the design of medical back supports. It allows ...

A new breakthrough for spine and nervous system formation was successfully achieved by researchers where they were able to develop human stem cell models that will soon help in addressing the problems ...

Engineers have for the first time created a simulator mimicking the mechanical behavior of the human torso -- which could lead to innovations in the design of medical back supports. Engineers have for ...

Computational and experimental studies have been undertaken to investigate injurious head-first impacts (HFI), which can occur during automotive rollovers. Recent studies assume a torso surrogate mass ...
