These are the passive system(structure of the vertebrae, passive stiffness ofthe intervertebral discs, spinalligaments, joint capsules, andthe passive properties of the muscles), active system(contractileproperties of muscles and tendons),and neural system (proprioceptors and other neural controlcomponents). The 3 subsystems complement each other andwork together to achieve stability.The Panjabi model for the spinal stabilizing system consists of 3interacting subsystems.
