Cervical total disc replacement exhibits similar stiffness to intact cervical functional spinal units tested on a dynamic pendulum testing system

By Rihof Lab|2020-07-27T15:20:00+00:00January 1st, 2015|

Publication: Spine Journal Date: January 2015 Authors: Esmende SM, Daniels AH, Paller DJ, Koruprolu S, Palumbo MA, Crisco JJ Link to Full Text Abstract BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The pendulum testing system is capable of applying physiologic compressive loads without constraining the motion of functional spinal units (FSUs). The number of cycles to equilibrium observed under pendulum [...]
