Musculoskeletal simulations are frequently used to determine the internal loads of the human body. However, the accuracy of the anatomical dataset and actually often the lack of data lead to some uncertainty of the underlying models. In this study we investigated the influence of vertebral geometrical parameter on lumbar spine loads. Therefore, an lumbar spine model has been derived and the effect of altered geometrical parameters has been analyzed.
