Journal ArticleDOI
Trunk muscle activation in low-back pain patients, an analysis of the literature
TL;DR: It is proposed that motor control changes in patients are functional in that they enhance spinal stability and suggest an alternative model to explain the alterations of trunk muscle recruitment due to low-back pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sitting comfort and discomfort and the relationships with objective measures
TL;DR: A theoretical framework is presented, in which comfort and discomfort were defined and the hypothetical associations with underlying factors were indicated, and the literature was reviewed to determine the relationships between objective measures and subjective ratings ofcomfort and discomfort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trunk muscle recruitment patterns in patients with low back pain enhance the stability of the lumbar spine.
TL;DR: Trunk muscle recruitment patterns in patients with low back pain are different from those in healthy control subjects, and the differences are likely to be functional with respect to enhancement of spinal stability in the patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of elderly fallers by muscle strength measures
TL;DR: Results indicate that whole leg extension strength is associated with the ability to prevent a fall after a gait perturbation and might be used to identify the elderly at risk of falling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methodological aspects of SEMG recordings for force estimation--a tutorial and review.
TL;DR: The problems associated with surface EMG in muscle force estimation are discussed and the solutions that novel methodological developments provide to this problem are discussed.
