To analyze the motion characteristics of lumbar facet joints and to observe the effect of weight-bearing on lumbar facet joints in the sitting position. Ten normal subjects (5 males and 5 females) were recruited and scanned by CT, and their lumbar 3D models were reconstructed by software. The images...
