Fig 2. Scheme of the daily simulated-physiological loading (SPL) regimes.

Fig 2

On the Y-axis the axial load (MPa) as applied on the IVDs. All IVDs started with 8 hours of low dynamic load (LDL) around 0.1 MPa, after which a 16 hour SPL loading regime was applied as indicated in the caption, this diurnal regime is repeated daily.
