Overview

Finite element modeling shows distribution of weight affects neck pain in rotary-wing aircrew, suggesting counterweight use may help.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effects of head-supported mass on neck response in rotary-wing aircrew.
  • Used finite element model to assess neck response.
  • Investigation of helmet weight distribution and counterweight effects.
  • Comparison of different loading conditions on neck mechanics.
  • Counterweight and NVG significantly reduce neck pain compared to helmet alone.
  • Findings can inform the design of future helmet systems.
  • Highlights the importance of mass distribution on neck health.
