  In present time, pain and stiffness in the cervical region of spine has become quite a common phenomena owing to the urbanized lifestyle of people which involves watching television or working on desktop computer for long hours without changing sitting postures. This pain and stiffness most often results from degeneration which takes place in the spinal discs which are located in between the vertebrae. However, the concept of establishing spinal pain as being caused by Degenerative Disc Disease is still problematic and unclear. Result of analysis on an anatomically accurate and validated intact finite element model of the spine indicated that the strain energy density and stress (internal responses) in the bony vertebra adjacent to the degenerated disc increased. During last few decades, biomedical engineers have been closely working with physicians for developing effective biomechani.. Read More»
