    This study introduces a system to analyze the complete mechanical behavior of the human spine under various loads. It reveals that each spinal load generates primary and coupled motions, requiring extensive data for full characterization.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Spinal Mechanics
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Human spinal mechanics are complex and historically focused on axial compression.
    • Previous research has not fully documented coupled motions under diverse loading conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a system for determining the complete elastic behavior of the spine.
    • To present three-dimensional (3D) study results, including coupled effects.

    Main Methods:

    • Applying 12 physiologic loads (forces or moments) to the upper vertebra.
    • Measuring the resulting six components of 3D motion for each load.

    Main Results:

    • Each applied load results in one primary motion and five coupled motions.

  • Seventy-two load-displacement curves are necessary to fully describe a single spinal motion segment's elastic behavior.

    • Conclusions:

    • The developed system enables comprehensive documentation of spinal motion segment mechanics.
    • Understanding coupled motions is crucial for a complete analysis of spinal biomechanics.
