Clinicians use forward bending and backward return in routine clinical examinations for
evaluating spine mobility. The magnitude and timing of lumbar spine and pelvic …

Authored by experts of international renown, the new edition of The Biomechanics of Back
Pain forms a bridge between the latest research and the effective clinical management of …

This study aimed to compare the load-velocity and load-power relationships of three
common variations of the squat exercise. 52 strength-trained males performed a progressive …

Goal: The purpose of this study was: 1) to design and fabricate a biomechanically-assistive
garment which was sufficiently lightweight and low-profile to be worn underneath, or as …

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 …

Ergonomics evaluation through measurements of biomechanical parameters in real time
has a great potential in reducing non-fatal occupational injuries, such as work-related …

Lifting is a main task for manual material handling (MMH), and it is also associated with
lower back pain. There are many studies in the literature on predicting lifting strategies …

Lifting up objects from the floor has been identified as a risk factor for low back pain,
whereby a flexed spine during lifting is often associated with producing higher loads in the …

The repeated lifting of heavy weights has been identified as a risk factor for low back pain
(LBP). Whether squat lifting leads to lower spinal loads than stoop lifting and whether lifting …

Adjacent segment disorders are prevalent in patients following a spinal fusion surgery.
Postoperative alterations in the adjacent segment biomechanics play a role in the etiology of …
