Biomechanical effects of cement discoplasty on the lumbar spinal unit
Frontiers in Surgery, 2022 Background Percutaneous cement discoplasty (PCD) is used to treat patients with low back and leg pain due to the intervertebral disc vacuum phenomena. Whether PCD can restore lumbar spinal stability remains unknown.

Prediction and Simulator Verification of Roll/Lateral Adverse Aeroservoelastic Rotorcraft–Pilot Couplings [PDF]
, 2015 The involuntary interaction of a pilot with an aircraft can be described as pilot-assisted oscillations. Such phenomena are usually only addressed late in the design process when they manifest themselves during ground/flight testing. Methods to be able

Biomechanical Effects of Proximal Polyetheretherketone Rod Extension on the Upper Instrumented and Adjacent Levels in a Human Long-Segment Construct: A Cadaveric Model [PDF]
Neurospine, 2022 Objective The high mechanical stress zone at the sudden transition from a rigid to flexible region is involved in proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) physiopathology. We evaluated the biomechanical performance of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rods used as a
