Swelling of the intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus may be a contributing factor in lower back pain syndromes. We have designed and tested a new osmometer for in vitro determination of nucleus pulposus swelling pressure. The functional principle of the osmometer involves compressing a sample of nuc

## Abstract This study tested the hypothesis that changes in the morphology and composition of the nucleus pulposus with age and degeneration have associated changes in its mechanical properties. A torsional shear experiment was used to determine viscoelastic shear properties of cylindrical samples
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to refine a method of nerve‐root injury in the rat to produce hyperalgesia, a pain‐related behavior, and to determine if there were any relationships between the histological extent of nerve‐root injury and the magnitude of hyperalgesia. Three methods were
The variation in the dimensions of the lumbar spinal canal under both flexion-extension and axial compression-distraction was studied using computerized tomography (CT) scans in human cadaver lumbar spine specimens. In 3-mm-thick CT slices through the disk at L,-L,, the cross-sectional area of the s
