the basic key in the process of our validation may be stated in the development of computational analogues of the spinal morphologies by the creation of sophisticated 3-dimensional Finite element (Fe) model of an intact ligamentous L1-s1 motion segment that matches the real biomechanical behavior of the human lumbosacral spine and for this purpose, the curves were found to be non-linear and the ranges of motion (rom) results were found to compare favorably with reported values from in vivo and in vitro studies as documented in experiments conducted on human cadavers [1,2]. therefore, this Fe-model can be used to investigate the stress and strain distributions in the L1-s1components, especially the discs under physiological functions such as heavy and daily carrying tasks it has the possibility of representing the realities with a much higher degree of fidelity. keywords: Finite element, lumbar spine behavior, ranges of motion, in vivo, in vitro kulcsszavak: végeselem, ágyéki gerinc viselkedése, mozgástartomány, in vivo, in vitroMohammed BenDoUKha research Professor at the university of mostaganem. obtained his engineering degree in mechanical engineering from the university of science and technology of oran (usto).
