A finite element model of the human lumbar spine was developed for the parametric study of
the stiffness of a dynamic stabilization device. Spinal segments (L2–L5) were used to …

This study aims to investigate the difference in physiological loading on the spine in three
different motions (flexion–extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation) between …

A report on a new active, miniature bone‐attached, robotic system including its design, high
level and low level control, is given together with a description of the system implementation …

Human functional spinal unit (FSU) is comprised of two adjacent vertebrae, the intervertebral
disc (IVD), the cartilage endplates and the connecting ligamentous tissues. As humans age …
