Modeling of Muscle Action and Stability of the Human Spine

Biomechanical investigations of the human spine are nowadays rarely taken up for purely cognitive reasons. Usually they are stimulated by needs of various areas of contemporary civilization and directed toward applying their results in medicine (etiology of diseases and defects of the spine, rehabilitation, occupational medicine), technology (e.g. influence of a vehicle upon the spine of its human operator in normal or emergency conditions), and sports (influence of overloads due to sport training upon the spine).
