Mesh convergence study on a representative FCL (left C4–C5). The exterior view of mesh visualization and stress distribution maps of the left C4–C5 FCL for (A) coarse mesh and (B) fine mesh models in axial rotation (AR) to left (see part a in Figure 4), lateral bending (LB) to left (see part figure E in Figure 4), flexion (Flex.) (see part figure C in Figure 4), and extension (Ext) (see part figure D in Figure 4) motions.
