Abstract
Interpretation. Small magnitudes of static axial torque alter the failure mechanics of the intervertebral disc and vertebrae in combined loading situations. Axial torque appears to accelerate the susceptibility for injury to the intervertebral joint complex. This suggests tasks involving axial torque with other types of loading, apart from axial twist motion, should be monitored to assess exposure and injury risk.
