CADAVERIC 6-AXIS SPINE SIMULATOR FOR ASSESSING SPINAL BIOMECHANICS

Abstract: a spine simulator is disclosed herein. this spine simulator may be used to test and assess the biomechanical effects of various interventions to the spine that include surgical implants, excision, or fusion. surgical implants, excision, or fusion can change the biomechanical outcomes of the specific spinal segments as recorded by load cells, 3d motion capture, and sensors, such as displacement sensors included in the spine simulator. these biomechanical effects are best measured in the spine with cadaveric specimens with multiple instrumentations that allow for complex movement analysis. preferably the spine simulator is capable of customized testing of spinal segments from the cervical to sacral spine. related methods of use are also provided.
