Fig. 5From: The biological basis of degenerative disc disease: proteomic and biomechanical analysis of the canine intervertebral discAveraged moment–rotation curves during (a) flexion and extension and (b) axial rotation movements for non-chondrodystrophic (NCD; red) and chondrodystrophic (CD; white) specimens. Differences observed between moment–rotation curves are indicative of greater stiffness during flexion and extension and axial rotation loading in the NCD motion segments compared with CD motion segmentsBack to article page
