Background: The sacroiliac joints (SIJs), the largest axial joints in the body, sit in between
the sacrum and pelvic bones on either side. They connect the spine to the pelvis and thus …

It has been claimed that 85% of the neck injuries caused by car accidents are the result of
rear-end collisions. This type of injury is called a whiplash injury, and its mechanisms are not …

OBJECT The authors evaluated the biomechanical effects of an interspinous process (ISP)
device on kinematics and load sharing at the implanted and adjacent segments. METHODS …

Background: Previous studies have examined the effect of whole body (WB) parameters on
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain and loads, as well as knee joint kinetics and …

Currently, rigid fixation systems are the gold standard for degenerative disk disease
treatment. Dynamic fixation systems have been proposed as alternatives for the treatment of a …

The finite element model has been used as an effective tool in human spine biomechanics.
Biomechanical finite element models have provided basic insights into the workings of the …

For those patients who suffer from low back pain generated by the sacroiliac (SI) joint,
fusion of the SI joint has proven to be an effective means of stabilizing it and reducing pain. …

Background: Fixation is one of the most common surgical techniques for the treatment of
chronic pain originating from the sacroiliac joint (SIJ). Many studies have investigated the …

Accurate representation of soft tissue material properties plays a crucial role in computational
biomechanics. Several material models have been used for knee ligaments in finite …

Cartilage defects are common in the knee joint of active athletes and remain a problem as a
strong risk factor for osteoarthritis. We hypothesized that landing during sport activities, …
