Dynamic stiffness and damping of human intervertebral disc using axial oscillatory displacement under a free mass system [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 2003 The aim of this study was to analyse the dynamic response of the human intervertebral disc to vibration in a physiologically relevant frequency spectrum. Eight lumbar intervertebral discs were harvested. After preparation, each sample was subjected to a pre-loading and then dynamic compression (from 5 to 30 Hz).

Clarifying the nomenclature of intervertebral disc degeneration and displacement: from bench to bedside [PDF]
, 2014 As a significant determinant of low back pain, intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has attracted more and more attention of both investigators and physicians. Disc herniation, termed as intervertebral disc displacement, is amongst the most prevalent spinal diseases closely linked with IDD.
