A finite element model technique to determine the mechanical response of a lumbar spine segment under complex loads.
This study presents a CT-based finite element model of the lumbar spine taking into account all function-related boundary conditions, such as anisotropy of mechanical properties, ligaments, contact elements, mesh size, etc. Through advanced mesh generation and employment of compound elements, the developed model is capable of assessing the mechanical response of the examined spine segment for c...
متن کاملBiomechanical effects of metastasis in the osteoporotic lumbar spine: A Finite Element Analysis
BACKGROUND Cancer patients are likely to undergo osteoporosis as consequence of hormone manipulation and/or chemotherapy. Little is known about possible increased risk of fracture in this population. The aim of this study was to describe the biomechanical effect of a metastatic lesion in an osteoporotic lumbar spine model. METHODS A finite element model of two spinal motion segments (L3-L5) w...
متن کاملBiomechanical Effects of Spinal Flexibility and Rigidity on Lumbar Spine Loading: A Finite Element Analysis Study
Objective: The effects of spinal rigidity correlate positively with low back pain. Although spine flexibility has also been considered important for preventing stress-related lumbar disorders, the effects of spinal rigidity on mechanical stress during lumbar motion have rarely been reported. Methods: A biomechanical investigation and finite element analysis were conducted to elucidate the effec...
متن کاملValidation of a Biomechanical Model of the Lumbar Spine
INTRODUCTION Hansen et al [1] and de Zee et al [2] reported on a new and very detailed model of the human lumbar spine. In its current version the model comprises a total of 194 spinal muscle fascicles spanning the pelvis, sacrum, five lumbar vertebrae and the joint between the lumbar and thoracic parts. In addition, the abdominal muscles are included in the model and may contribute to extensio...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis of the Biomechanical Effect of Coflex™ on the Lumbar Spine
OBJECTIVE The biomechanical properties of the Coflex™ (Paradigm Spine, NY, USA), a device designed to provide dynamic stabilization without lumbar fusion, have not been clearly defined. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and biomechanical effect of Coflex™ using finite element model (FEM). METHODS A 3D geometric model of the L3-L5 was created by integrating computerized t...
