BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Multifidus cross-sectional area was often measured in chronic low back pain (LBP) patients to estimate the muscle activity for spinal stability. However …
Purpose Symptomatic adjacent segment disease (ASD) has been reported to occur in up to 27% of lumbar fusion patients. A previous study identified patients at risk according to the …

A previous modelling study predicted that the forces applied by the extensor muscles to stabilise the lumbar spine would be greater in spines that have a larger sagittal curvature …
BACKGROUND: Biomechanical models are commonly used to estimate loads on the spine. Current models have focused on understanding the etiology of low back pain and have not …

Finite element analysis is a powerful tool that is often used to study the biomechanical response of the spine. The primary objective of this study was to illustrate the mechanical …
Finite element modelling of the lumbar spine is a challenging problem. Lower back pain is among the most common pathologies in the global populations, owing to which the patient …
Finite element (FE) modeling is widely used to study the biomechanical effect of material properties, surgical procedures, and loading and boundary conditions on the lumbar spine …
