The Influence of Muscle Forces on the Stress Distribution in the Lumbar Spine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Previous studies of bone stresses in the human lumbar spine have relied on simplified models when modeling the spinal musculature, even though muscle forces are likely major contributors to the stresses in the vertebral bones. Detailed musculoskeletal spine models have recently become available and show good correlation with experimental findings. A combined inverse dynamics and finite element analysis study was conducted in the lumbar spine to investigate the effects of muscle forces on a detailed musculoskeletal finite element model of the 4 lumbar vertebral

Introduction: Low back pain is the most prevalent orthopedic disorder and the first main cause of poor working functionality in developed as wells as many developing countries. In Absence of noninvasive in vivo measurement approaches, biomechanical models are used to estimate mechanical loads on human joints during physical activities. To estimate joint loads via musculoskelet...
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...

STUDY DESIGN This study investigated the influence of five different muscle groups on the monosegmental motion (L4-L5) during pure flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation moments. OBJECTIVES The results showed and compared the effect of different muscle groups acting in different directions on the stability of a single motion segment to find loading conditions for in vitro expe...
متن کاملLumbar Muscle Forces and Spinal Loads Derived from External Loading by Using a Muscle Constitutive Model
Introduction Spinal muscles transmit most of the kinematical forces to the spine tissues and therefore, careful modelling of muscle activity is critical for an adequate estimation of spinal loads. However, current lumbar spine numerical models overlook such muscle contribution or suggest simplifications that do not allow thorough studies of load transfers within the deforming spine. As such, th...
