Inflicted Head Injury by Shaking Trauma in Infants: Part I: The potential effect of spatiotemporal variation of the rotation center on injury mechanisms. Part II:The importance of spatiotemporal variation of the rotation center when modeling external head-dynamics

Part I:<br/>Inflicted head injury by shaking trauma (IHI-ST) is often simulated to better understand the injury mechanisms and to analyze whether violent shaking can cause head injury in infants. Computational models are usually subjected to linear and rotational inputs to simulate shaking scenarios. In existing studies, the head’s rotation...

Modeling of inflicted head injury by shaking trauma in children: what can we learn?:: Part II: A systematic review of mathematical and physical models

Various types of complex biomechanical models have been published in the literature to better understand processes related to inflicted head injury by shaking trauma (IHI-ST) in infants. In this systematic review, a comprehensive overview of these models is provided. A systematic review was performed in MEDLINE and Scopus for articles using...
