Spinal loads are recognized to play a causative role in back disorders and pain. Knowledge
of lumbar spinal loads is required in proper management of various spinal disorders …

Purpose Mechanical loading represents an integral part of intervertebral disc (IVD)
homeostasis. This review aims to summarise recent knowledge on the effects of mechanical …

The number one cause of disability in the world is low-back pain, with mechanical loading
as one of the major risk factors. To reduce mechanical loading, exoskeletons have been …

In order to realize the force control, when the prosthetic hand grasps the object, the forearm
electromyography signal is collected by the multi-channel surface electromyography (sEMG) …

Low-back pain is the number one cause of disability in the world, with mechanical loading
as one of the major risk factors. Exoskeletons have been introduced in the workplace to …

With mechanical loading as the main risk factor for LBP, exoskeletons (EXO) are designed to
reduce the load on the back by taking over part of the moment normally generated by back …

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To determine if patients fused with multi-
rod constructs to the pelvis have a lower incidence of lumbosacral rod failure and …

Large spinal compressive force combined with axial torsional shear force during asymmetric
lifting tasks is highly associated with lower back injury (LBI). The aim of this study was to …

Improved knowledge on spinal loads and trunk muscle forces may clarify the mechanical
causes of various spinal diseases and has the potential to improve the current treatment …

Abstract Development of a subject-specific computational musculoskeletal trunk model
(accounting for age, sex, body weight and body height), estimation of muscle forces and …
