The effect of loading rate and degeneration on neutral region motion in human cadaveric lumbar motion segments

Abstract Background The quasistatic neutral zone is a surrogate for neutral region stiffness of spinal motion segments. No similar measure of dynamic stiffness has been validated. Because parameters related to stiffness are likely to be affected by loading rate and disc degeneration, we examined the...
