On modeling the ligamentous spine philosophy and implementation

Area of Science:

• Biomechanics
• Spinal Anatomy
• Mathematical Modeling

Background:

• Human posture relies on integrated skeletal, ligamentary, and muscular systems.
• Ligaments stabilize vertebrae against internal pressure, while muscles provide antigravity support and stability.
• Dynamic balance is achieved through the interplay of ligamentary and muscular forces.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a mathematical model for analyzing spinal deformation.
• To develop an exact theory for the behavior of the ligamentous spine.
