Low-back load during manual lifting is considered an important risk factor for the occurrence
of low-back pain. Splitting a load, so it can be lifted beside the body (one load in each hand) …

Despite the well-recognized role of lifting in back injuries, the relative biomechanical merits
of squat versus stoop lifting remain controversial. In vivo kinematics measurements and …

BACKGROUND: Asymmetric lifting activities are associated with low back pain. METHODS:
A finite element biomechanical model is used to estimate spinal loads during one-and two …

Excessive loads on the human spine is recognized as a risk factor for back injuries/pain.
Various lifting analysis tools such as musculoskeletal models, regression equations and …

Study Design. Patients with low back pain and asymptomatic individuals were evaluated
while performing controlled and free-dynamic lifting tasks in a laboratory setting. Objective …

BACKGROUND: Little research is available on low back biomechanical stresses that obese
and overweight workers experience from manual load lifting. OBJECTIVE: The study …

Co-ordination of various components of the human body during the course of lifting are very
complex and difficult to control. This study hypothesized that strategies used to control the …

BACKGROUND: Comparative studies between single-joint electromyography (EMG)-and
optimization-driven models of the human spine in estimating trunk muscle and spinal …

Flexion-extension moments occurring at the L5-S1 level of the spine were calculated when
subjects lifted a 150N box at slow, normal and fast speeds. Three methods of lifting were …
