Primary Creep Characterization in Porcine Lumbar Spine Subject to Repeated Loading.
Journal article Annals of biomedical engineering · April 2026 Low back pain (LBP) is a common medical condition worldwide, though the etiology of injuries causing most LBP is unknown. Flexion and repeated compression increase lumbar injury risk, yet the complex viscoelastic behavior of the lumbar spine has not been c ...

Journal article Annals of biomedical engineering · April 2026 Full text CiteCyclic Mechanism Affects Lumbar Spine Creep Response.
Journal article Ann Biomed Eng · April 2026 PURPOSE: This study aims to explore how cyclic loading influences creep response in the lumbar spine under combined flexion-compression loading. METHODS: Ten porcine functional spinal units (FSUs) were mechanically tested in cyclic or static combined flexi ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
