The Effect Of Ligament Stiffness On The Stability Of The Human Spine
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the influence of ligaments on spinal stability. The human spine has an initial curvature which should be taken into account when dealing with spinal stability. A formula for the change in subtended distance between two curves will be derived. This formula will be integrated with the variational method in order to obtain a relation for spinal stability. Stability requires two conditions from a mathematical point of view. From these two conditions a criterion for spinal stability in obtained.

The nuchal ligament restrains cervical spine flexion.
STUDY DESIGN A biomechanical study using a cadaver model was conducted to define the function of the nuchal ligament in the restraint of flexion of the cervical spine. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that surgical resection of the nuchal ligament significantly reduces the structural restraints to cervical flexion. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Although previous studies have examined the role ...
متن کاملStress Analysis of the Human Ligamentous Lumber Spine-From Computer-Assisted Tomography to Finite Element Analysis
Detailed investigation on biomechanics of a complex structure such as the human lumbar spine requires the use of advanced computer-based technique for both the geometrical reconstruction and the stress analysis. In the present study, the computer-assisted tomography (CAT) and finite element method (FEM) are merged to perform detailed three dimensional nonlinear analysis of the human ligamentous...
متن کاملA numerical study to determine the effect of ligament stiffness on kinematics of the lumbar spine during flexion
BACKGROUND There is a wide range of mechanical properties of spinal ligaments documented in literature. Due to the fact that ligaments contribute in stabilizing the spine by limiting excessive intersegmental motion, those properties are of particular interest for the implementation in musculoskeletal models. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of varying ligament stiffness on th...
متن کاملEffect of Eight Weeks of Core Stability Exercises on Dynamic Balance, Function, and Strength in Athletes after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Randomized Clinical Trial
Introduction: The core muscles of trunk are activated before movements of upper and lower limbs. Current evidence suggests that lose of stability in core region predisposes to second injury and appropriate exercise may reduce the risk of reinjury. This aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of eight weeks core stability exercises on dynamic balance, function and strength in athletes. afte...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of five different storage media and temperature effect on human periodontal ligament fibroblast viability
Introduction: Following dental avulsion, the immediate recommended treatment is tooth replantation to avoid adverse effects. Therefore, the tooth must be stored in a physiological storage medium to preserve the viability of the periodontal ligament fibroblast (PDLF) cells during transportation to dental office. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of several storage media in preser...
