(Dr. Mark de Zee, 03. December, 2006 )
This webcast presents a detailed model of the lumbar spine, which recently has been published in the Journal of Biomechanics. We will go through the model and its assumptions including the muscles, intra-abdominal pressure and validation.
With the presented model it will be possible to investigate a range of research questions, because the model is relatively easy to share and modify, available in the public domain repository.
