| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
"Finite element analysis of myelopathy " conducts stress analysis in the spinal cord based on a model created using finite element method software. In addition, we have also established relationships with Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Yamaguchi University, and stress analysis of the spinal cord involves model analysis including conical part and equine tail level. I announced the results of swine nerve root tensile tests in English and started making models. In addition, through the Yamaguchi University Ethics Committee, we collect actual human tissues during surgery, collect cattle and pig tissues for meat, and conduct various tensile tests and compression tests. We intentionally harvest unnecessary human bone, ligaments and spinal cord tissue which were taken intraoperatively, and we will promptly transport this to the Faculty of Engineering at Yamaguchi University for substance properties.
