The independent lumbar spine model

Main Forum

How are you? ^^

Sir, first of all, let me ask you something.

I want to define the coordinates of the lumbar spine in order to investigate the spine motion. Before I start, I wonder whether there is a lumbar spine model that can be operated with kinematics, inverse dynamics autonomously or there is a just whole body model including the part of lumbar spine.

I already read the tutorials several times. But I am still confused whether badly misinformed or not. I am looking forward to your answer. Thanks!^^

Dear Daekyoo,

First of all, welcome to the forum and to the AnyBody community.

We recommend to add the version of the AnyBody Modeling System (AMS) and the AnyBody Managed Model Repository to your signature.

You can exclude parts of the full-body model to focus on the region of interest. For example, in SpineFixationWithForceDependentKinematics the model is reduced to the upper body without arms.

Kind regards,
Pavel
