Abstract
The objective is to experimentally characterize the costovertebral articulations when the bony structure of a thoracic cage is submitted to a compressive load on the sternum. Two tests have been performed in order to document the kinematics of these joints and to determine the role of the intercostal muscles on the stability of the thoracic cage. The tests also aim at determining the global deformation of the thoracic cage. The results will permit to improve a finite element model of the thoracic cage.
