Abstract Evaluation of spinal loads in patients with low back pain (LBP) is essential to
prevent further lumbar disorders. Many studies have investigated the relationship between …

Objective. To evaluate if chronic low back pain patients perform manual material handling
tasks differently from control subjects. Design. Comparative study using a repeated …

Study Design. In vivo measurements and model studies are combined to investigate the role
of lumbar posture in static lifting tasks. Objectives. Identification of the role of changes in the …

A dynamic biomechanical human model is presented which allows the quantification of
mechanical parameters such as torque, compressive and shear forces, and pressure at the …

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that peak L4/L5
moments (torque) placed on the lumbar spine by chronic back pain subjects are reduced …

Background Chronic low back pain due to manual lifting continues to be one of the
significant common public health challenges in modern societies despite increased …

Flexion–extension moments acting at the L5/S1 level and hip joints were calculated using
three different techniques; a pure static analysis, a static analysis including the inertial force …

This experimental study investigated the effects of load magnitude and movement speed on
lumbar vertebral kinematics during lifting task performance. Ten participants performed …

Lifting is a significant risk factor for low back pain (LBP). Different biomechanical factors
including spinal loads, kinematics, and muscle electromyography (EMG) activities have …

There is limited information in the literature related to the lower back loading in patients with
LBP, particularly those with non-chronic LBP. Toward addressing such a research gap, a …
