Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the L5S1 flexion/extension moment in symmetrical lifting using a simplified ambulatory measurement system.
TL;DR: While reasonable moment estimates can be obtained with 6 sensors, omitting the forearm sensors led to unacceptable errors, and vertical GRF information is sufficient to estimate L5S1 moments in lifting.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of over-commitment and reward on trapezius muscle activity and shoulder, head, neck, and torso postures during computer use in the field
Jennifer L. Garza,Belinda H.W. Eijckelhof,Belinda H.W. Eijckelhof,Maaike A. Huysmans,Maaike A. Huysmans,Paul J. Catalano,Jeffrey N. Katz,Peter Johnson,Jaap H. van Dieën,Jaap H. van Dieën,Allard J. van der Beek,Allard J. van der Beek,Jack T. Dennerlein,Jack T. Dennerlein,Jack T. Dennerlein +14 more
TL;DR: These data suggest that the interaction of reward and over-commitment can affect upper extremity muscle activity and postures during computer use in the real work environment, and aligns with the hypothesized biomechanical pathway connecting workplace psychosocial factors and musculoskeletal symptoms of the neck and shoulder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does a novel exergame challenge balance and activate muscles more than existing off-the-shelf exergames?
Jente Willaert,Aijse W. de Vries,Julie Tavernier,Jaap H. van Dieën,Ilse Jonkers,Sabine Verschueren +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that affordable hardware can be used to create challenging and enjoyable balance training programs using exergames that were successful in eliciting challenging weight shifts and muscle activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of support surface stability on feedback control of trunk posture
TL;DR: The absolute effects of visual and vestibular manipulations increase on an unstable surface, suggesting a relative decrease in the weights of proprioceptive and tactile information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do Older Adults Select Appropriate Motor Strategies in a Stepping-Down Paradigm?
TL;DR: The finding that older adults do not select their movement strategy in stepping down based on their actual abilities, or have an imprecise perception of their actual ability, suggests that inappropriate motor strategy selection in a stepping down paradigm can explain accidental falls in older adults.
