Measurement Properties of the Functional Rating Index: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

abstract：:When the published data on the radial disc bulge in relation to the axial compression of the motion segment are compared to a simple mechanical model, it follows that an axial inward bulge of the vertebral endplates should occur during compression. The model predicts that the disc height at its center should remain pr...
