Musculoskeletal modelling of the lumbar spine to explore functional interactions between back muscle loads and intervertebral disc multiphysics
During daily activities, complex biomechanical interactions influence the biophysical regulation of intervertebral discs (IVDs), and transfers of mechanical loads are largely controlled by the stabilizing action of spine muscles. Muscle and other internal forces cannot be easily measured directly in...
