Influence of fluid-flow direction on effective permeability of the vertebral end plate: an analytical model.

abstract：:The normalcy index (NI) has been implemented by several studies as a simple index for quantitatively analyzing diffident gait abnormalities, such as children with cerebral palsy and idiopathic toe-walkers.
