… kinematics, kinetics, and injuries of cervical spines instrumented with and without a follower
load … We tested the hypothesis that the addition of a follower load would prevent or alter the …

… This allows for a more thorough study of lumbar spine kinematics under a follower pre-load. …
on spinal stability and kinematics under the same type and combination of complex loading …

… the kinematics of whole lumbar spine … to a spine specimen consisting of many motion
segments. We observed that the ideal follower load path is posture dependent [7]; the follower load …

… of the lumbar spine kinematics to the applied loads. However… kinematics should be considered
with realistic disc loads and … spinal responses could vary depending on the lumbar spine …

… To investigate the influence of the location of FLP for the spinal kinematic responses and
internal loads, in addition to deliver a most realistic FL that is indeed applied on the lumbar …

… follower load (FL) device within a robotic (universal force-moment sensor) testing system and
utilize the system to explore the effect of FL on multi-segment cervical spine … by loading the …

… In terms of these analyses, the effects of the follower load on the continuous kinematics,
flexibility, stiffness, facet joint force and intradiscal pressure are evaluated for each motion …

… the different motion directions were reduced under follower load. On the monosegmental
level, the follower load especially reduced the ROM of the upper thoracic spine from T1-T2 to T4…

… during LB and AR may lead to a combination of shear and compressive forces, inducing
significant changes in the kinematics of the cervical spine [52, 53]. Therefore, the inclusion of LB …

… spine model, loaded in compression along the follower load path, supported compressive
loads … However, unlike the kinematic constraint on joint displacements in a given static posture…
