离体脊柱生物力学测试研究对于理解和掌握脊柱的功能、损伤、退行性变以及脊柱植入物的影响均有重要的意义。脊柱生物力学的研究包括对脊柱的加载方法及脊柱运动状态的描述两个方面，脊柱的加载方法主要经历了从逐级加载到连续加载的过程。本文针对脊柱生物力学研究现状，分析国内外相关文献资料，总结了现有脊柱离体运动加载研究方法并对其进行了综述，为今后脊柱运动加载研究提供一定的参考和帮助。

Research on biomechanical testing of the spine in vitro is crucial to advance understanding about the function of spine, spine injury, spinal degeneration, and the influence of implants on spinal disorders. Spinal biomechanics is mainly composed of two parts: loading methods for the spine and measurement for the spinal movement. The loading method has gone through a process from gradual loading to continuous loading. In this paper, current literatures on spinal biomechanics were studied and up-to-date loading methods for the spinal movement in vitro were summarized to provide some references and help for the future research on loading methods of spinal movement.
