Effect of microgravity on mechanical loadings in lumbar spine at various postures: a numerical study
Abstract The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze the mechanical change of spinal segments (disc, muscle, and ligament) at various postures under microgravity using a full-body musculoskeletal modeling approach. Specifically, in the lumbar spine, the vertebra were modeled as rigid bodies,...
