Computational simulation of the intervertebral disc [PDF]

, 2013
The intervertebral disc is a complex structure unlike any other in the human body. The capability to withstand high loads and deformations in six degrees of freedom is facilitated by the unique soft tissue structures. However, the mechanical behaviour of

The biology of the ovine functional spinal unit: facet cartilage and intervertebral disc [PDF]

, 2013
Back pain will affect up to 84 % of people at some point in their lives. It is a major public health problem in Western society leading to disability and economic loss through work absence, physician visits and hospitalisation.

Cumulative occupational lumbar load and lumbar disc disease : results of a German multi-center case-control study (EPILIFT) [PDF]

, 2009
Background The to date evidence for a dose-response relationship between physical workload and the development of lumbar disc diseases is limited. We therefore investigated the possible etiologic relevance of cumulative occupational lumbar load to lumbar

Lifestyle factors and lumbar disc disease: results of a German multi-center case-control study (EPILIFT) [PDF]

, 2010
Introduction: In the large-scale case-control study EPILIFT, we investigated the dose-response relationship between lifestyle factors (weight, smoking amount, cumulative duration of different sports activities) and lumbar disc disease.

Genetic association studies in lumbar disc degeneration: a systematic review.

PLoS ONE, 2012
ObjectiveLow back pain is associated with lumbar disc degeneration, which is mainly due to genetic predisposition. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review to evaluate genetic association studies in lumbar disc degeneration as ...

Kinematic Evaluation of Association between Disc Bulge Migration, Lumbar Segmental Mobility, and Disc Degeneration in the Lumbar Spine Using Positional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Global Spine Journal, 2011
Degenerative disc disease and disc bulge in the lumbar spine are common sources of lower back pain. Little is known regarding disc bulge migration and lumbar segmental mobility as the lumbar spine moves from flexion to extension.

Different spinal subtypes with varying characteristics of lumbar disc degeneration at specific level with age: a study based on an asymptomatic population

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2020
Background The relationship between spinal sagittal subtypes and lumbar disc degeneration is unclear. Thus, we aimed to investigate the relationship between lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration and age in asymptomatic healthy individuals with ...

Intervertebral disc degeneration in dogs [PDF]

, 2010
Back pain is common in both dogs and humans, and is often associated with intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. The IVDs are essential structures of the spine and degeneration can ultimately result in diseases such as IVD herniation or spinal ...

A Biometrical investigation into the relationship between vertebral joint osteophytosis and body proportion biomechanics. [PDF]

Occupational loading is a significant risk factor for back pain and vertebral joint disease. Although biomechanical principles predict that spinal loading is affected by body proportion, particularly with differences in upper to lower body measurements ...

Effects of Fusion and Conservative Treatment on Disc Degeneration and Rates of Subsequent Surgery after Thoracolumbar Fracture

Global Spine Journal, 2015
Introduction Studies have shown that lumbar fusion may lead to increased degeneration at the adjacent level. However, the issue of further degeneration around the fusion area is controversial.
