Abstract :
Understanding the load transfer within posterior column of lumbar spine is necessary to determine the influence of mechanical factors on potential mechanisms of the motion-sparing implant. The present study validated the effectiveness of the new strain gauge method for evaluating the posterior column load and it seems to be effective.
