To understand the dynamic characteristics of the human spine, a detailed three-dimensional finite element model of the lower thorax to pelvis segment, T12-pelvis, was developed based on actual vertebral geometry. After modal analysis, the resonant frequencies of different spinal segments were obtained. The vibration mode of T12-pelvis shows that the human upper body mainly performs the vertical motion during whole-body vibration and the lumbar spine segment conducts translation and rotation in the sagittal plane. The lower segments of the lumbar spine move in flexion and the upper lumbar segments move in extension. This investigation may be helpful in understanding further the biomechanical behaviour of the human spine under the condition of whole-body vibration and to offer potential references for spinal disease treatments and product design in industry.
