Abstract
Spine biomechanics is the study of motions and forces in the human spine, investigated in order to gain a better understanding of various spinal disorders and to develop optimal treatments. This article discusses the kinetics, kinematics, and tissue material properties of the healthy spine, followed by a summary of the biomechanics of pathology and treatment for three classes of spinal disorder; disc degeneration, fracture, and deformity. The role of experimental, theoretical and numerical analysis techniques is discussed, and likely future directions in spine biomechanics research are suggested.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
