Abstract

Despite many experimental investigations, a lot of questions remain about the concept of lumbar instability, both degenerative and postoperative [1–5]. The purpose of this study is to analyze the possible deterioration of physiologic behavior at L4–L5 and L5–S1 levels. From the experimental point of view, these results allow one to reflect on the influence of some anatomic details on the intimate biomechanic relationships of these functional units [6,7].
