Spinal Flexibility

This technical note demonstrates two methods of incorporating the experimental stiffness of spinal motion segments into a finite element analysis of the spine. The first method is to incorporate the experimental data directly as a stiffness matrix. The second method approximates the experimental data as a beam element.
