Analysis of the physiological load on lumbar vertebrae in patients with osteoporosis: a finite-element study

Abstract This study aims to investigate the difference in physiological loading on the spine in three different motions (flexion–extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation) between osteoporotic and normal spines, using finite element modelling. A three-dimensional finite element (FE) model cente...
