Characterization of the Mechanical Response of the Lumbar Spine

Characterization of the Mechanical Response of the Lumbar Spine

The primary objective of this research is to associate lumbar segmental mechanical response with intervertebral disc degeneration under physiologic testing conditions. Because no mathematical model exists for lumbar spine segmental rotations, a portion of this thesis evaluates potential methods for...
