Abstract
In this study, the long-term mechanics of the lumbar intervertebral disc during repeated low-level impact loading is compared to mechanics under normal physiological loading conditions within a single diurnal cycle. Disc height lost and regained as well as tissue stiffness are measured for both groups.
