The impact of compressive force magnitude on the in vitro neutral zone range and passive stiffness during a flexion–extension range of motion test
The objective of this work was to examine the influence of compressive force magnitude on a functional spinal unit’s (FSU) flexion–extension neutral zone measured during pure moment (PM) tests. Each porcine cervical FSU received four repeats of a PM test with 10, 300, 900 and 1,800 N of compressive...
