The authors describe a device for measuring the resultant tensions existing at the intervertebral junction (or its constitutive elements) in all spine attitudes. The reported method has been applied to the L4-L5 junction of a spine taken from the corpse of a 50 years old man. Although incomplete, the results suggest the following points: --the L4-L5 intervertebral junction seems to be very deformable, particularly in the sagittal plane; --the intervertebral disk is probably an elastic support which sustains shear stresses during flexion, extension and bending movements in the frontal plane; --during flexion, articular processes seem to be movement leaders as well as supports; --ligaments seem to play a small mechanical role, but their proprioceptive function seems essential.
作者描述了一种用于测量在所有脊柱姿势下椎间关节（或其组成部分）处存在的合成张力的装置。所报道的方法已应用于取自一名50岁男性尸体脊柱的L4-L5关节。尽管结果不完整，但表明了以下几点：——L4-L5椎间关节似乎非常易变形，尤其是在矢状面；——椎间盘可能是一种弹性支撑，在额状面的屈伸和侧弯运动中承受剪切应力；——在屈曲过程中，关节突似乎既是运动引导者又是支撑；——韧带似乎起的机械作用较小，但其本体感觉功能似乎至关重要。
