Material sensitivity of patient-specific finite element models in the brace treatment of scoliosis

Objectives: To study the mechanical sensitivity of different intervertebral disc and bone material parameters and ligaments under different force configurations and magnitudes in the scoliosis model.Methods: The finite element model of a 21-year-old female is built using computed tomography. Local r...
