LumbarSIM Disc Properties
Submitted by gknapik on Mon, 11/16/2009 - 12:01
I noticed in the LifeMOD Manual under plugins for LumbarSIM that there are stiffness and damping values for discs modeled as bushing joints with averaged DeJager data. I haven't been able to find a reference for these values. I saw there is a cervical spine paper...
De Jager MKJ, 1996, Mathematical Head-Neck Model for acceleration Impacts. PhD. Thesis: Eindhoven University of Technology, 1996.
...but haven't found a lumbar spine paper. Does anyone have a reference for these values?
Thanks!
