Abstract

Analysing and interpreting the dynamic behavioural characteristics of the human lumbar vertebrae are important in assessing symptoms related to lower back pain (LBP). Finite element (FE) modelling and analysis of the vertebral column assist in static and dynamic simulations subjected to various load conditions. Most available finite element models are either expensive and inaccessible, or inaccurate and contain errors. The present paper demonstrates the development of a simplified, refined and error-free solid model of the human lumbar vertebrae for FE analysis. Modal analysis is carried out to evince the integrity of the developed model in dynamic simulation and analysis.
