Study Design. Basic scientific investigation using radiologic, histochemical, and microscopic
dissection techniques. Objective. To document the process of mechanically induced disc …

The spine is routinely subjected to repetitive complex loading consisting of axial
compression, torsion, flexion and extension. Mechanical loading is one of the important …

Background. The spine is routinely subjected to repetitive combined loading, including axial
torque. Repetitive flexion–extension motions with low magnitude compressive forces have …

On the basis of the kangaroo's pseudo‐biped locomotion and its upright position, it could be
assumed that the kangaroo might be an interesting model for spine research and that it may …

Cricket fast bowlers have a high incidence of serious lumbar injuries, such as lesions in the
pars interarticularis. Kinematic studies have shown that bowling actions with large shoulder …

Purpose The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic scoping review of previous in
vitro spine studies that used pig functional spinal units (FSU) as a model to gain an …

BACKGROUND: The injury potential and mechanical effects of combining axial rotation with
non-neutral flexion/extension postures in vivo remains poorly understood, despite being …
