Good work on myths of back injuries, with emphasis on mechanical testing. Appears to be most current, seminal work.
Notes
- Discs between vertebrae are not shock absorbers but instead, the flow of fluid in compressed vertebral bodies does shock absorption. Makes sense considering basic hydraulics.
- Sleeping more than 8 hours causes back pain, due to increased flow of fluid into the vertebrae disks. You are taller by 2 cm when you wake up, and stiffer until the fluid leaks out under load.
