Objective Spine kinematics, kinetics, and trunk muscle activities were evaluated during
different stages of a fatigue-induced symmetric lifting task over time. Background Due to …

Objective. It was the objective of this study to investigate the kinematic and kinetic effects of
two specific handling factors that differentiate expert and novice workers, namely the level of …

Objectives. To evaluate two handling factors on asymmetry of posture and efforts and to
evaluate different reference systems of axes on the characterization of asymmetry. Design …

Assessment of the effects of lifting on the low back has most frequently been done with the
aid of static models. Many lifting movements appear to have substantial inertial components …

Individual differences in work methods may be related to the risk of injury during manual
material handling tasks, yet existing evidence comparing experienced workers and novices …

This study was done to assess the interplay between muscular and ligamentous sources of
extensor moment during dynamic lifting with various loads and flexion angles of the trunk …

This article reviews the empirical and theoretical bases for recommendations regarding
lifting technique. Lifting from postures involving extreme lumbar vertebral …

The purpose of this experiment was to compare spinal loads during two-person lifting tasks
performed with team members of matched versus unmatched standing height. Twelve young …

Whether or not lifting belts protect workers from injury is a topic of considerable interest in
industry. Not only is the protective effect uncertain, but the biomechanical basis for belt …

There is currently no validated full-body lifting model publicly available on the OpenSim
modelling platform to estimate spinal loads during lifting. In this study, the existing full-body …
