RISImportance of Nonlinear and Multivariable Flexibility Coefficients in the Prediction of Human Cervical Spine Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flexibility matrix currently forms the basis for multibody dynamics models of cervical spine motion. While studies have aimed to determine cervical motion segment behavior, their accuracy and ...
Preconditioning is Correlated With Altered Collagen Fiber Alignment in Ligament
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although the mechanical phenomena associated with preconditioning are well-established, the underlying mechanisms responsible for this behavior are still not fully understood. Using quantitative ...
Spinal Facet Joint Biomechanics and Mechanotransduction in Normal, Injury and Degenerative Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The facet joint is a crucial anatomic region of the spine owing to its biomechanical role in facilitating articulation of the vertebrae of the spinal column. It is a diarthrodial joint with ...
Mechanical Thresholds for Initiation and Persistence of Pain Following Nerve Root Injury: Mechanical and Chemical Contributions at Injury
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is much evidence supporting the hypothesis that magnitude of nerve root mechanical injury affects the nature of the physiological responses which can contribute to pain in lumbar radiculopathy. ...
Contact Pressure in the Facet Joint During Sagittal Bending of the Cadaveric Cervical Spine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The facet joint contributes to the normal biomechanical function of the spine by transmitting loads and limiting motions via articular contact. However, little is known about the contact pressure ...
