Abstract
Muscle tissue is one of the important tissues in the neck, mainly playing a role in supporting and stabilizing the body. Cervical muscle lesions are one of the causes of cervical spondylosis. A new method of establishing a finite element model of the cervical spine was proposed. The muscle tissue was reconstructed by referencing the structure of a medical human body model, and a 3-D full cervical spine finite element model with muscle tissues was established by transferring CT scan data and combining the muscle tissue thus obtained. This full cervical spine model was then validated for its effectiveness and reasonable explanations were provided for the validation results. The effectiveness of the model was basically validated. In the six movements of the cervical spine, the vertebrae were mainly stressed at C1-C3, and the intervertebral discs were mainly stressed at C2/3/4/5. The muscles with the highest stress were the splenius cervicis, rectus capitis posterior major, and longus collis. These areas are more prone to lesions in daily life.
