A micro-macro evaluation of the vertebral bony endplate permeability based on computational fluid dynamics
(2011)
Conference report
Open AccessThe intrinsic permeability is an important parameter that describes the resistance of a porous structure to fluid flo w. It has a key role in poroelastic finite element models of spinal segments, especially at ... -

A poroviscoelastic description of fibrin gels
(2008-11-14)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe mechanical induction of specific cell phenotypes can only be properly controlled if the local stimuli applied to the cells are known as a function of the external applied loads. Finite element analysis of the cell ... -
Analysis of uncertainty and variability in finite element computational models for biomedical engineering: characterization and propagation
(Frontiers Media SA, 2016-11-07)
Article
Open AccessComputational modeling has become a powerful tool in biomedical engineering thanks to its potential to simulate coupled systems. However, real parameters are usually not accurately known, and variability is inherent in ... -
Anisotropic tissue elasticity in human lumbar vertebra, by means of a coupled ultrasound-micromechanics approach
(2012-07-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe extremely fi ne structure of vertebral cortex challenges reliable determination of the tissue's anisotropic elasticity, which is important for the spine's load carrying patterns often causing pain in patients. As a ... -
Comparison of four methods to simulate swelling in poroelastic finite element models of intervertebral discs
(2011-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyOsmotic phenomena influence the intervertebral disc biomechanics. Their simulation is challenging and can be undertaken at different levels of complexity. Four distinct approaches to simulate the osmotic behaviour of the ... -
Directing bone marrow-derived stromal cell function with mechanics
(2010-03-22)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBecause bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs) are able to generate many cell types, they are envisioned as source of regenerative cells to repair numerous tissues, including bone, cartilage, and ligaments. Success ... -
Finite element modelling of the spine
(Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2012-03-01)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis chapter focuses on the finite element method applied to spine modelling. First, the functional biomechanics of the healthy spine are presented in terms of load transfers among the different spinal structures ... -
In silico evaluation of a new composite disc substitute with a L3-L5 lumbar spine finite element model
(2012-06-21)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWhen the intervertebral disc is removed to relieve chronic pain, subsequent segment stabilization should restore the functional mechanics of the native disc. Because of partially constrained motions and the lack ... -
Influencing biophysical properties of fibrin with buffer solutions
(2010-05-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFibrin has been proposed as cell scaffold for numerous tissue engineering applications. While most of the studies have focused on fibrinogen and thrombin, other components of fibrin can also affect its properties. ... -
Model developments for in silico studies of the lumbar spine biomechanics
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2009-06-22)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessLa present tesi investiga l'ús de la modelització amb elements finits per a l'estudi de la biomecànica lumbar per a l'avaluació clínica. Els estudis bibliogràfics del capítol 1 mostren relacions funcionals clares entre les ... -
Muscular tension significantly affects stability in standing posture
(2019-02-01)
Article
Open AccessMuscular co-contraction is a strategy commonly used by elders with the aim to increase stability. However, co-contraction leads to stiffness which in turns reduces stability. Some literature seems to suggest an opposite ... -
On the collagen criss-cross angles in the annuli fibrosi of lumbar spine finite element models
(2011-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn the human lumbar spine, annulus fibrosus fibres largely contribute to intervertebral disc stability. Detailed annulus models are therefore necessary to obtain reliable predictions of lumbar spine mechanics by finite ... -
Regional annulus fibre orientations used as a tool for the calibration of lumbar intervertebral disc finite element models
(Gordon and Breach Science Publishers, 2011-01-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe collagen network of the annulus fibrosus largely controls the functional biomechanics of the lumbar intervertebral discs (IVDs). Quantitative anatomical examinations have shown bundle orientation patterns, possibly ... -
Regional annulus fibre orientations used as a tool for the calibration of lumbar intervertebral disc finite element models
(2010)
Conference report
Open AccessThe highly organized collagen network of human lumbar a nnulus fibrosus (AF) is fundamental to preserve the mechanical inte grity of the interverte bral discs. In the healthy AF, fibres are embedded in a hydrated matrix ... -
Significance of the collagen criss-cross angle distributions in lumbar annuli fibrosi as revealed by finite element simulations
(2010)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the human lumbar spine, annulus fibr osus (AF) fibres la rgely contribute to intervertebral disc (IVD) stability, and deta iled annulus models are required to obtain reliable predictions of lumbar spine biom echanics ... -
The effect of sustained compression on oxygen metabolic transport in the intervertebral disc decreases with degenerative changes
(2011-08-04)
Article
Open AccessIntervertebral disc metabolic transport is essential to the functional spine and provides the cells with the nutrients necessary to tissue maintenance. Disc degenerative changes alter the tissue mechanics, but interactions ...
