5 Fig 4 Trunk flexed to left and right. Head acceleration in the x, y, and z axes of 1 subject in response to the level of applied acceleration. The z axis is parallel, the x axis orthogonal, and the y axis vertical to the direction of travel. Legend: Head X, head acceleration in the x axis; Head Y, head acceleration in the y axis; Head Z, head acceleration in the z axis.

6 Fig 5 Trunk flexed to left and right. Normalized mean peak and average electromyograms (EMG) (percentage of isometric MVC) where the error bars represent standard deviation, and applied acceleration. Abbreviations: LSCM, left sternocleidomastoid; LSPL, left splenius capitis; LTRP, left trapezius; RSCM, right sternocleidomastoid; RSPL, right splenius capitis; RTRP, right trapezius.
