    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Spinal cord science
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • The spine's complex structure supports fundamental functions.
    • Understanding spinal biomechanics is crucial for clinical applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present basic biomechanical information on the spine and spinal cord.
    • To elucidate the functions of spinal components under various loading conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of experimentally determined physical properties of spinal components (vertebra, ligaments, disc, spinal cord).
    • Analysis of spinal cord movement within the spinal canal.
    • Discussion of spinal kinematics and clinical significance.

    Main Results:

    • Spinal ligaments allow physiological motion, prevent excessive movement, and protect the spinal cord.
    • Spinal cord undergoes sectional changes during physiological spine movements.
    • Analysis of spinal trauma and associated instability.

    Conclusions:

    • Biomechanical data is essential for understanding spinal column functions.
    • Recommended guidelines for assessing spinal stability provide a basis for clinical judgment.
