In vivo prediction of intervertebral disc strains and segmental kinematics from clinical MRI during lumbar extension
This study demonstrates the potential of utilising radiographic variables to predict the biomechanical behaviour at the segmental level, giving rise to future exploration of complex loading patterns in patient cohorts with specific spinal pathologies.
