Biomechanical behavior of human intervertebral discs subjected to long lasting axial loading

Abstract
48 lumbar discs were tested; the creep tests lasted between 2 and 6 hours. All discs showed the known creep behavior, i.e. a decrease of height, rate of creep and axial deformability with time. In the first minutes of a test the viscoelastic behavior
