In an aspect, a stress mitigation system is provided for mitigating stresses in a wearer of a headgear configured to apply a load on the wearer that is offset from a CG of a wearer's head. The system includes a first and second cable segments, and a tensioning device. Each cable segment has a first end and a second end, mounted to one of the headgear and the bodywear member respectively. The first ends are laterally inboard and vertically spaced from the second ends. During pivoting of the head in a first direction, the first cable segment changes orientation towards vertical and the second cable segment changes orientation towards horizontal, and during pivoting movement of the head in a second direction. The tensioning device increases tension in any cable segment that changes orientation towards vertical, and reduces tension in any cable segment that changes orientation towards horizontal.

System for mitigating musculoskeletal stresses from head-related moments exerted on a person

In an aspect, a stress mitigation system is provided for mitigating stresses in a wearer of a headgear configured to apply a load on the wearer that is offset from a center of gravity of the wearer's head to apply a first torque in a first direction on the wearer's head. The system includes a track, a shuttle, and a flexible elongate connector. The track is mounted to either the headgear or a bodywear member and extends generally laterally. The shuttle is movable along the track. The connector is configured to connect between the shuttle and the other of the headgear and the bodywear member. The connector applies a second torque on the headgear in a second direction that is generally opposite to the first direction. When the wearer's head pivots, the shuttle is movable laterally along the track to maintain the connector in a substantially vertical orientation.

In an aspect, a vehicle door control system for a vehicle having a vehicle body and a vehicle door is provided, and includes a check arm having an end that is mounted to one of the vehicle body and the vehicle door, a check arm holder at least a portion of which is mounted to the other of the vehicle body and the vehicle door, and a controller. The check arm holder is configured to apply at least three different amounts of braking force to the check arm. The controller is programmed to control the operation of the check arm holder based on input from at least one sensor.
