  4. Stability of long multiple-rod constructs and dual-rod constructs in the thoracic spine: a biomechanical cadaveric study

    Herrington, Brandon JThe University of Western Ontario2024

    … Much of this work has focused on the lumbar spine, and little has been published around how these constructs behave in a long construct spanning the thoracic spine. The purpose of this thesis is to compare the stability of a two-rod (dual-rod) construct (DRC) to a four-rod (multiple-rod) …

  5. Quantification and Evaluation of the Biomechanical Behaviour of the Trunk During Fundamental Tasks: Should the Thoracic Spine be Considered?

    Schinkel-Ivy, Alison Nicole2015

    Thoracic spine research is sparse relative to the lumbar spine. A better understanding of thoracic spine mechanics may provide insight into pain mechanisms in both spine regions. This dissertation quantified and evaluated the biomechanical behaviour of the thoracic spine during fundamental tasks, …
