Abstract
Human spine is a complex mechanical structure, capable of withstanding different types of physiological loads, and allows sufficient motion between the head, trunck and pelvis. Knowledge of the mechanical and kinematic behavior of lumbar spine is important for understanding all aspects of the clinical analysis and management of spinal problems. Significant contributions have been made by many researchers (1–8) for understanding the response of the lumbar spine motion segments under different physiological loading conditions namely, flexion, extension, right and left lateral bending, clockwise and counterclockwise twisting, anterior and posterior shear and lateral shear loads under the influence of tension preload.
