Specifically, validation was achieved by a flexible (load-control) approach in 3 main planes under a pure moment of 10 Nm and a compressive follower load of 400 N. The ISP device was inserted between the L-3 and L-4 processes. Intact and implanted cases were simulated using the hybrid protocol in all motion directions. The resultant motion, facet load, and intradiscal pressure after implantation were investigated at the index and adjacent levels. In addition, stress at the bone-implant interface was predicted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n\nRESULTS<\/jats:title>\nThe hybrid approach, shown to be appropriate for adjacent-level investigations, predicted that the ISP device would decrease the range of motion, facet load, and intradiscal pressure at the index level relative to the corresponding values for the intact spine in extension. Specifically, the intradiscal pressure induced after implantation at adjacent segments increased by 39.7% and by 6.6% at L2\u20133 and L4\u20135, respectively. Similarly, facet loads at adjacent segments after implantation increased up to 60% relative to the loads in the intact case. Further, the stress at the bone-implant interface increased significantly. The influence of the ISP device on load sharing parameters in motion directions other than extension was negligible.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n\nCONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\nAlthough ISP devices apply a distraction force on the processes and prevent further extension of the index segment, their implantation may cause changes in biomechanical parameters such as facet load, intradiscal pressure, and range of motion at adjacent levels in extension.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2014.12.spine14419","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,1]],"date-time":"2015-05-01T14:01:26Z","timestamp":1430488886000},"page":"200-208","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Determination
