Influence of different frequencies of axial cyclic loading on time-domain vibration response of the lumbar spine: A finite element study

In this study, a three-dimensional non-linear finite element model of ligamentous L1 –S1 segment was developed to predict time-domain dynamic response of the whole lumbar spine to axial cyclic loading with different frequencies. A compressive follower preload of 400 N was applied to the model to simulate the physiologic compressive load.
