ABSTRACT 
The head and neck is a complex musculoskeletal system comprised of high degree of freedom kinematics, redundant muscles, and passive structures. This complexity makes reproducing physiologically relevant motions and dynamic head impacts difficult in simulation platforms. In this webinar, Calvin Kuo from The University of British Columbia and Jon Mortensen from The University of Utah will highlight improvements in head and neck modeling that address these challenges and discuss potential future applications.
