Abstract

A review of the pitfalls of biomechanical testing and its experimental designs are presented in order to provide a format for the young spinal experimentor, and an outline of procedural error and logical thinking for nonclinical spinal experimentation, be it in vitro, in vivo, or with mathematical modeling. Subsequent sections deal with the specifics of in vitro and in vivo testing and mathematical modeling.
