By way of 3-dimensional measurement, the kinematics of the lumbar spine after discectomy were studied on 8 specimens of functional spinal units from cadavers. Each specimen was subjected to discectomy performed as on living body, the specimen was then, with proper load, fixed on a frame specially made for passive motion, imitating that of a person. Records of the 3-dimensional motions, before and after discectomy, were compared carefully. The data demonstrated that discectomy of lumbar spine did bring about definite ill-effect on kinematics of the spine, initiating immobility.
通过三维测量，对8个取自尸体的功能性脊柱单元标本进行了椎间盘切除术后腰椎的运动学研究。每个标本均按照活体手术方式进行椎间盘切除术，然后在适当负荷下将标本固定在专门制作的用于被动运动的框架上，模拟人体运动。仔细比较了椎间盘切除术前和术后的三维运动记录。数据表明，腰椎间盘切除术确实会对脊柱的运动学产生一定的不良影响，引发脊柱活动受限。
