Abstract
Modeling and experimental researches carried out in order to neck muscles forces identification during daily activity are presented in this paper. 3 - dimensional model of human cervical spine supported by MRI and EMG diagnostics were used for analysis of correlation between neck muscles activation and vertebrae loading conditions. Head flexion, extension, side bending and rotation movements were analyzed. Numerical analysis proved that side head bending generate the worst load, stimulating spine degeneration.
