Load Distribution in the Lumbar Spine During Modeled Compression Depends on Lordosis

Load Distribution in the Lumbar Spine During Modeled Compression Depends on Lordosis

Excessive or incorrect loading of lumbar spinal structures is commonly assumed as one of the factors to accelerate degenerative processes, which may lead to lower back pain. Accordingly, the mechanics of the spine under medical conditions, such as scoliosis or spondylolisthesis, is well-investigated...
