| Abstract: | The paper purpose is to find a correlation between the lumbar spine movement and the intervertebral disc pressures. The fundamental of the paper involves the functional anatomy of the spine and the mechanics of the spine structure. In order to draw a pertinent conclusion, a number of 20 healthy subjects riding a medical bike in different conditions were tested. The recording results involve the angular amplitudes of the lumbar segment in flexion, rotation and lateral movement. Combining the experiment’s results and the simplified model of the spine, the reaction forces acting on the lumbar spine were calculated. |
