A biomechanical study to compare spinal movement in a healthy volunteer during extrication between ‘chain cabling’ and ‘roof off’ methods of extrication Open
In this study of a healthy volunteer, roof-off extrication was associated with less movement than chain cabling. The movement associated with chain cabling extrication was similar to that previously collected for other extrication types.

Comparison of ‘chain cabling’ and ‘roof off’ extrication types, a biomechanical study in healthy volunteers Open
Background: Following a motor vehicle collision some patients will remain trapped. Traditional extrication methods are time consuming and focus on movement minimisation and mitigation. ‘Chain cabling’ is an alternative method of extricatio…

Maximum Movement and Cumulative Movement (Travel) to Inform our Understanding of Secondary Spinal Cord Injury and its Application to Collar use in Self-extrication Open
Background: Motor vehicle collisions remain a common cause of spinal cord injury. Biomechanical studies of spinal movement often lack “real world” context and applicability. Additional data may enhance our understanding of the potential fo…
