Abstract:ObjectiveTo determine the effects of rigid collars on cervical movement and acceleration during triple spinal immobilisation and extrication.MethodsProcedures were performed on 15 non-injured volunteers in random order of collar and no-collar. Primary outcomes were angular movements and angular accelerations of the head relative to the thorax. Secondary outcome was the total procedure time.ResultsBetween collar and no-collar, small but significant differences were found for mean angular movements during 15°til… Show more
