Moment at yield point and torque limit for cat and human lumbar spine specimens during lateral bending (LB), axial rotation (AR), and extension (E). There were significant interactions between species and motion type (2-way ANOVA, p = 0.046). Multiple comparison tests (Student-Newman-Keuls Test, p < 0.05): *Motion significant within cat; +Motion significant within human; ◆Species significant within motion. Lines show torque-limit, which was computed as the 10th percentile of the moment at yield point. Torque-limits for human lumbar spines were larger in magnitude compared to that of cat spines.
