- Additional information
- Previous mathematical models of cavity formation and growth in the spinal cord have used simple spring-mass type models that are over simplistic. This paper is significant because it applies a more advanced porous media model, which is solved using computational methods such as the finite element method. The outcome allows, for the first time, simulation of the cord motion including the flow of liquid through the pores in the cord.
