Journal ArticleDOI
Trunk muscle activation and associated lumbar spine joint shear forces under different levels of external forward force applied to the trunk
TL;DR: It is concluded that the response of the neuromuscular system to shear force challenges tends to increase rather than reduce the shear loading at the lumbar joint that is subjected to the highest shear forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of toe and heel landing in stepping down in ongoing gait
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that in toe landing, the leading leg can perform more negative work, to control the momentum gained during the descent, than in heel landing, and that heel landing may be preferred when stepping down small height differences, because it is less demanding especially for the plantar flexor muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of age on force steadiness: A literature review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: The meta-analysis results are in line with motor unit loss as the main cause of the effect of ageing on force steadiness and this effect can partially explain decreased motor performance associated with ageing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual reality balance training for elderly: Similar skiing games elicit different challenges in balance training
TL;DR: The results show the importance of assessing the movement challenge in games used for balance training, with adaptations led to a decrease in challenge in Wiiski, which might limit the effectiveness of the game as a balance-training tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postural sway and integration of proprioceptive signals in subjects with LBP
TL;DR: A model for control of postural sway is proposed that suggests that subjects with LBP use more co-contraction and less cognitive control, to maintain a standing balance when compared to subjects without LBP.
