  1. Shows data from cadaver studies with artificially induced unstable cervical spine injuries. The standard deviation is shown for the studies in which it was reported. We report the medians of the means reported in the different studies and the range of these means. Del Rossi (2004) reported data from three different cervical collars, and Prasarn (2012) reported data for logrolls onto and off a backboard
