Development and Kinematic Verification of a Finite Element Model for the Lumbar Spine: Application to Disc Degeneration
The knowledge of the lumbar spine biomechanics is essential for clinical applications. Due to the difficulties to experiment on living people and the irregular results published, simulation based on finite elements (FE) has been developed, making it possible to adequately reproduce the biomechanic...
