A Constitutive Model for the Annulus of Human Intervertebral Disc: Implications for Developing a Degeneration Model and Its Influence on Lumbar Spine Functioning

<table>Comparison between experimental data, measured by Ebara et al. [<a href="/journals/jam/2014/658719/#B9">38</a>], and the response of the present model under a traction axial load (AO = anterior outer annulus; PO = posterior outer annulus; AI = anterior inner annulus; PI = posterior inner annulus).</table>
