Lumbar Spine with Passive Elements Public Forum

The objective of this study is to adjust and enhance the existing lumbar spine model with more detailed passive elements to simulate the rotational moment/force produced by intervertebral disc, facet articulations and ligaments.

Hi There, I have a question for you, Do you know how we can model an IVD by defining its mechanical properties?
Thanks,
Arish

Hi there,
why were the facet joints modelled as ExpressionBasedBushingElements? On which experimental data set are the force-displacement relationships based?
Thanks,
Maria
