Report on research in strength, elasticity and impact resistance of the cervical vertebrae

The essential part of the research lay in ascertaining the sort of forces damaging in an injury of the cervical vertebral column and the circumstances under which this can also lead to spinal cord injury. Further study was devoted to the assessment of the force with which a certain part of the cervical vertebral column resists the injuring forces and in what manner it contributes to the final state of injury. The results of this research made it possible to lay down the principles of prevention from as well as treatment of the cervical vertebral column and spinal cord injury.
