Human spine is a complex structure with mechanism behaviour. The aim of this paper is to propose a mechanism simulating human spine with a serial linkage of spherical joints. The proposed joint unit mimics the combined structure of two connected vertebrae along with the intermediate intervertebral disc. In this paper design requirements are fully achieved. The proposed mechanism is very light, low-cost and easy to manufacture, functional and easy to use.

Abstract
Human spine is a complex structure with mechanism behaviour. The aim of this paper is to propose a mechanism simulating human spine with a serial linkage of spherical joints. The proposed joint unit mimics the combined structure of two connected vertebrae along with the intermediate intervertebral disc. In this paper design requirements are fully achieved. The proposed mechanism is very light, low-cost and easy to manufacture, functional and easy to use.File in questo prodotto:
