title: Elements of a general theory of joints. 2. Introduction into a theory of synarthrosis.
abstract: The intervertebral disks are integrating components of the movement segments of the spine. In the following study we will present a model that demonstrates the effects of normal, shearing, and general forces applied to the synarthrosis of the "intervertebral disk". The movement of the spine must be seen in the context of its surrounding structures.
