Comparison between the dynamic and initial creep response of porcine and human lumbar intervertebral discs

The study of mechanical properties of intervertebral disc (IVD) is important for the evaluation of disc implants. To determine these properties, several animal spine models were used. The goal of this work is to determine and compare the dynamic stiffness coefficient (K-d) and initial creep behavior...
