A novel spine tester TO GO by Jan Ulrich Jansen, Laura Zengerle, Marcel Steiner, Vincenza Sciortino, Marianna Tryfonidou, Hans‐Joachim Wilke

“…Results The new spine tester measured reasonable ROM and NZ from hysteresis curves, and the ROM of the two testing machines formed a high coefficient of determination R2 = 0.986. However, higher ROM results of the new testing machine might be explained by the lower friction of the air bearings, which allowed more translational motion. …”
