The Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Research Lab

The mechanisms contributing to spinal stability continue to elude researchers. 

The persistent efforts in deciphering the mechanisms affording spinal stability are warranted by the enormous global economic burden caused by back pain which produces more disability than any other condition. However, one may not logically conceive solutions for spinal instability, linked to back pain, when the biomechanics of the healthy stable spine are not understood.
