Lumbar lordotic correction (LLC), the gold standard treatment for sagittal spinal
malalignment (SMA), and its effect on sagittal balance have been critically discussed in …

Although the lumbar spine region is the most common site of injury in golfers, little research
has been done on intervertebral loads in relation to the anatomical–morphological …

A spine is proven to be subjected to a follower load which is a compressive load of
physiologic magnitude acting on the whole spine. The path of the follower load …

Availability of accurate three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of lumbar vertebrae is necessary
to understand normal and pathological biomechanics of the lumbar spine. Due to the …

In the anatomy of a normal spine, due to the curvatures in various regions, the C7 plumb line
(C7PL) passes through the sacrum so that the head is centered over the pelvic-ball and …

Knowledge of spinal loads in neighboring disks after interbody fusion plays an important
role in the clinical decision of this treatment as well as in the elucidation of its effect …

The ranges of angular motion measured using multisegmented spinal column models are
typically small, meaning that minor experimental errors can potentially affect the reliability of …

Rigid interspinous process fixation (RIPF) has been recently discussed as an alternative to
pedicle screw fixation (PSF) for reducing trauma in lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) surgery …

The goals of this study are to compare the lumbar spine response variance between the
hybrid III, test device for human occupant restraint (THOR), and global human body models …

Spine intersegmental motion parameters and the resultant regional patterns may be useful
for biomechanical classification of low back pain (LBP) as well as assessing the appropriate …
