Biomechanical assessment of unilateral/bilateral lumbar spondylolysis with and without muscle weakness using finite element analysis

Background: Spondylolysis is commonly linked to low back pain in athletes, and the connection between muscle weakness and spondylolysis is unclear. Therefore, this study examined the biomechanics of spondylolysis and influence of muscle weakness by finite element (FE) analysis. Methods: A patient�...
