Muscle pathologies after cervical spine distortion-like exposure-a porcine model.
Conclusions: By simulating a CSD-like motion we were able to confirm injuries in the posterior cervical muscles under severe loading conditions. Further studies need to be conducted to determine whether these muscle injuries also occur under lower exposure forces. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
