Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does computer simulation of lumbar flexion show shear of the facet capsular ligament?
Answer: We found that in-plane and through-plane shear deformations are widely present in finite element simulations of a lumbar FCL during flexion. Importantly, we conclude that future studies of the FCL must consider the effects of both shear and tensile deformations.
Output (English): yes
