A Compressible, Transversely Isotropic, Hyperelastic Constitutive Model of the Guinea Pig Spinal Cord White Matter

Abstract: Slow compression spinal cord injuries occur when the spinal canal narrows, the consequence of degenerative, infective, or oncologic legion growth, and exerts pressure throughout the spinal cord. Transverse tissue compression results in an amalgamation of mechanical insults at the cellular level [1]. However, the mechanism of cellular injury has yet to be elucidated. We have recently developed a hyperelastic, isotropic plane strain finite element model (FEM) of the guinea pig spinal cord white matter response t… Show more
