As the lowest section of the mobile human spine, the lumbar spine's key role lies in its ability
to support the upper body by transmitting forces and bending moments to the sacrum, which …

The magnitude of low back pain in terms of its occurrence and cost is reviewed. The
biomechanics of the lumbar spine are related to the functional anatomy. The disparate …

The human spinal column is a complex structure composed of 24 individual vertebrae plus
the sacrum. The principal functions of the spine are to protect the spinal cord, to provide …

Of the many problems associated with low back pain, those which are most amenable to
biomechanical investigation are identified. Recent advances in lumbar spinal mechanics are …

The chief reason to study how performances of physical tasks load the structures of the
lumbar trunk is evidence that heavy trunk loads and low back pain are associated. That …

The mechanical properties of the human spine are best described by load-displacement
curves which include coupling effects. Three-dimensional load-displacement curves were …

The lumbar region is a frequent site of spinal disorders, including low-back pain, and of
spinal trauma. Clinical studies have established that abnormal intervertebral motions occur …

Since the publication of the 2nd edition of White and Panjabi׳ s textbook, Clinical
Biomechanics of the Spine in 1990, there has been considerable research on the …

Although the anatomy of the human spine is not drastically different from that of quadrupedal
vertebrates, its role in supporting the head and torso is obviously not the same. The erect …
