A finite element method study of the effect of vibration on the dynamic biomechanical response of the lumbar spine

Accurately simulating lumbar spine biodynamics requires the inclusion of the upper body mass in the lumbosacral spine model. The physiological curvature of the lumbar spine could escalate the risk of lumbar spine vibration injuries. It is more instructive to apply local high stress in the disc as a lumbar spine vibration safety evaluation parameter.
