Journal ArticleDOI

A lumped stiffness model of intermuscular and extramuscular myofascial pathways of force transmission

TL;DR: The proposed nonlinear stiffness estimates of epimuscular pathways could be integrated in larger musculoskeletal models, to provide more accurate predictions of force when effects of mechanical interaction or altered epimuscules connections, e.g. after surgery or injury, are substantial.
Journal ArticleDOI

Workload of window cleaners using ladders differing in rung separation.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that overall, a 35 cm rung separation is marginally favourable while using extension ladders, but it is advised to climb ladders with the knees inside the side rails of the ladder, but this seems only possible with 35 cmRung separation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Test-retest reliability of muscle vibration effects on postural sway.

TL;DR: According to this study, displacement during vibration, proprioceptive weighting and selected recovery variables are the most reliable indicators of the response to muscle vibration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time to Reflect on the Role of Motor Control in Low Back Pain

TL;DR: The articles in this special issue on low back pain are the outcome of work undertaken by a series of working parties established during the meeting, "State-of-the-Art in Motor Control and Low Back Pain: International Clinical and Research Expert Forum," held in Chicago in October 2015.
Journal ArticleDOI

The validity of assessing temporal events, sub-phases and trunk kinematics of the sit-to-walk movement in older adults using a single inertial sensor

TL;DR: For most variables acceptable differences were found between IS and reference measurement systems, except for sideways displacements and non-sagittal plane rotations, and good results were found for temporal event detection.
