Stiffening of the nucleus pulposus upon axial loading of the intervertebral disc: An experimental in situ study
Mechanical loading is inherently related to the function and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. We present a series of experiments aimed at measuring the effect of a loading/unloading cycle of the intervertebral disc on the mechanical properties of the nucleus pulposus. The study relies on our...
