A numerical study to determine the effect of ligament stiffness on kinematics of the lumbar spine during flexion

BACKGROUND: There is a wide range of mechanical properties of spinal ligaments documented in literature. Due to the fact that ligaments contribute in stabilizing the spine by limiting excessive intersegmental motion, those properties are of particular interest for the implementation in musculoskelet...
