Journal ArticleDOI
Supporting the upper body with the hand on the thigh reduces back loading during lifting
TL;DR: It is concluded that leaning with a hand on the thigh can lead to substantial reductions of low back loading during lifting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary spinal segment stability with a stand-alone cage: in vitro evaluation of a successful goat model.
TL;DR: Cage implantation in a lumbar spinal segment does not increase immediate postoperative stability as compared to the native segment in this goat model, which implies that high primary segment stability is not required for fusion or that the tested range of motion of the spinal segment in vitro does not occur at these magnitudes in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do clinical assessments, steady-state or daily-life gait characteristics predict falls in ambulatory chronic stroke survivors?
TL;DR: Independent of the type of gait assessment, qualitative gait characteristics are better fall predictors than clinical assessments, and Clinicians should consider gait analyses as an alternative for identifying fall-prone stroke survivors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Which factors prognosticate spinal instability following lumbar laminectomy
Arno Bisschop,Barend J. van Royen,Margriet G. Mullender,Cornelis P. L. Paul,Idsart Kingma,Timothy U. Jiya,Albert J. van der Veen,Jaap H. van Dieën +7 more
TL;DR: Significant loss of strength and SS are predicted by BMC, B MD, intervertebral disc geometry and degenerative parameters, suggesting that low BMC or BMD, small interverTEbral discs and absence of osteophytes could predict the possible development of post-operative instability following lumbar laminectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a redesigned two-wheeled container for refuse collecting on mechanical loading of low back and shoulders
P. Paul F. M. Kuijer,P. Paul F. M. Kuijer,Marco J.M. Hoozemans,Idsart Kingma,Jaap H. van Dieën,Wiebe H K de Vries,Wiebe H K de Vries,DirkJan Veeger,DirkJan Veeger,Allard J. van der Beek,Bart Visser,Monique H. W. Frings-Dresen +11 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that, provided that empty containers are placed back onto the pavement as infrequently as possible, the introduction of the redesigned container could result in a reduction of the low back and shoulder load for refuse collectors.
