Motivation
– Everyday activities• Trauma (i.e. Car accident, Sports)• Occupational ($54 billion/year)
– Relatively low impact office duties– High impact manual labor
– Osteoporosis (~$13 billion/year)
Approximately 700,000 vertebral fractures occur each year in USA
In vitro study of human spine for various complex physiological loading.

Complications
• Mechanical Properties are difficult to ascertain.
• Spine movies in a complex 3-Dimensional pattern.
• However, it is important to apply such complex motion during in vitro studies.

Limitations
Measurement of spinal rigidity in single plane is very complex
• Unconstrained Motion- 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF)
• 2 DOF applied force + moment
• Lack of knowledge of disc degeneration (tears or
lesions)
![Page 12: Robots In Spine Biomechanics Wafa Tawackoli, Michael A.K. Liebschner Department of Bioengineering Rice University.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55142620550346e7488b5a3d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Our Approach
Measurement of spinal rigidity under complex loading (Fatigue, Creep, Stress Relaxation)
• Decrease DOF of unconstrained motion
• Increase DOF of applied forces and moments
• Apply helical axis of motion (path of minimum
resistance)
• Load and displacement boundary conditions.

Coordinate Systems
Coordinate systems (can be defined by the operator):
• Sensor & Tool coordinate systems
• Base coordinate system
• Virtual coordinate system

Sensing and Control Process (2)
Forces and torques measured by the ATI transducer can be re-calculated to a virtual coordinate system in order to sense the real effecting forces and torques between spinal segment and the transducer.
The optical tracking system allows for comparison in movement between each vertebra.

Conclusion
• Human spine is a complex system therefore complex
motion behavior is expected
• Hybrid control for biomechanical testing is
recommended
• 6DOF robotic testing system can be applied to the
delineation of in vitro spine kinetics
