You get vertebral wedging when the front of a vertebra collapses. People with osteoporosis typically have this fracture. From 1 to 1.5 million spinal compression fractures occur annually in the U.S.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of anterior column Hounsfield units (HU) in assessing bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression ...

The backbone or spine (or the vertebral column) can be divided into four major curves. The shapes of these curves allow our bodies to properly distribute weight in different positions and ...

We study two main issues: 1) Compliance and semi-passive dynamics for locomotion of humanoid robots regarding robustness against unknown external perturbations; 2) The advantages of a bio-inspired ...

The vertebral column, also called the spinal column, spine, or backbone, is a flexible column of bones that extends from the neck to the tail in vertebrate animals. It is part of the axial skeleton ...

The model would be made up of a 3D printed, fully articulated vertebral column and use tuneable pneumatic pressure to replicate the spinal cord. Adjustable to reflect various spinal conditions ...
