Full-field strain distribution in multi-vertebra spine segments: An in vitro application of digital image correlation
The spine consists in a sequence of hard (vertebrae) and soft tissue (intervertebral discs), stabilized by ligaments. Spine characterization is a fundamental challenge in biomechanics because it could help engineers and clinicians to better understand physiological/pathological conditions, and to design better implants [1, 2].
