Behavior of the intervertebral disc within the motion segment l3-l4 of the human spine under various types of physiological load

Abstract

The paper deals with the biomechanical investigation on the motion segment – basic part of the human lumbar spine focused on the intervertebral disc response to the various types of load. It contains the description and the reason of the simplification of the model, the biomechanical laws; the mathematical treatment with the computational implementation added. The results are presented and discussed especially for the intervertebral disc.
