Parametric Sensitivity Analysis of Intervertebral Discs, Continuum Formulation of Pre Stress in Intervertebral Disc

Finite element analysis (FEA) is widely used to assess motion segment mechanics under disc degeneration or surgical interventions. Despite numerous spine FEA studies, the selection of material models and properties is often unjustified, and the impact of tissue-level material properties on overall motion segment behavior remains unclear. This work aims to conduct a parametric sensitivity analysis of disc material properties to identify key parameters influencing motion segment mechanics.
