Analysis of Lumbar Spine Kinematics during Trunk Flexion and Extension Motions
… exercises have been used to reduce back pain or spinal degeneration. However, there are no studies to determine effects of exercise on lumbar spine kinematics, including lumbar-pelvic coordination and instantaneous axis of rotation. The current study aimed to examine these lumbar spine …

Characterisation of Ovine and Human Vertebral Endplates using X-ray Microtomography: the Effects of Degeneration on Structure.
… at the disc boundary. Finally, the effect of degeneration on the structural properties was investigated in human endplates. Sheep spines were used as a model for the human spine to develop experimental protocols, due to similarities in their morphological and biomechanical features. A protocol …

Polymer Composite Spinal Disc Implants
… internal pressure, for the correction of disc degeneration in the spine. The three-part composite samples needed to demonstrate good shock absorption and load distribution while maintaining strength and flexibility, and removing the need for metal in the body, something of which no current …
