RISAn Approach to Quantify Anisotropic Multiaxial Failure of the Annulus Fibrosus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tears in the annulus fibrosus (AF) of the intervertebral disk (IVD) occur due to multiaxial loading on the spine. However, most existing AF failure studies measure uniaxial stress, not the multiaxial stress at failure. ...
The Lumbar Facet Capsular Ligament Becomes More Anisotropic and the Fibers Become Stiffer With Intervertebral Disc and Facet Joint Degeneration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Degeneration of the lumbar spine, and especially how that degeneration may lead to pain, remains poorly understood. In particular, the mechanics of the facet capsular ligament may contribute to low back pain, but the ...
