Effect of Passive Support of the Spinal Muscles on the Biomechanics of a Lumbar Finite Element Model

Finite element (FE) modeling of the passive ligamentous spine is widely used to assess various biomechanical behaviors. Currently, FE models that incorporate the vertebrae, ligaments, and the personalized geometry of the bony spine may be used in conjunction with external loads from the muscles. How...
