Abstract

Abstract: Any minor injury in spinal cord results in problems associated with blood circulatory issues that cause hypotension orthostatic problems. This might raises the risk of blood clots, like deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus. Thus injury in spine impairs the nerves this leads to control of blood pressure. This leads to failure to oxygenate key organs. In this present work an attempt is suggested to compensate the air gap between human shoulders and head. This prevents Force acting on human neck while sudden deceleration.
