Abstract:
In present study we are going to introduce a biomechanical model of lumbar spine with using finite element method and use it for evaluating the behavior of spine under different loading conditions.Spine as the main part of muskloskeletal system of human body is tolerating various forces during daily activities.So it's important to know about different approaches for studing the loading conditions wich is using for evaluating the behavior of lumbar implants. In other words in order to obtain correct outputs we need to simulate the real condition in the experiments. We can use biomechanical models in order to comparison the different approaches
