Age-Related Differences in Muscle Synergy Organization during Step Ascent at Different Heights and Directions
Remco J. Baggen,Jaap H. van Dieën,Evelien Van Roie,Sabine Verschueren,Georgios Giarmatzis,Christophe Delecluse,Nadia Dominici +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the underlying age-related differences in dynamic motor control during different step ascent conditions using muscle synergy analysis and found that older women rely on more complex neuromuscular control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of shoulder load and pinch force on electromyographic activity and blood flow in the forearm during a pinch task
Bart Visser,Pernille Nielsen,Heleen de Kraker,Heleen de Kraker,Miriam Smits,Bente Rona Jensen,DirkJan Veeger,DirkJan Veeger,Jaap H. van Dieën +8 more
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that shoulder load might influence blood flow to the forearm, with the lowest blood flow at the highest shoulder load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractional Stability of Trunk Acceleration Dynamics of Daily-Life Walking: Toward a Unified Concept of Gait Stability.
Espen A. F. Ihlen,Kimberley S. van Schooten,Kimberley S. van Schooten,Sjoerd M. Bruijn,Mirjam Pijnappels,Jaap H. van Dieën +5 more
TL;DR: Fractional stability provided an improved fit of d(t) compared to exponential stability when applied to trunk accelerations during daily-life walking in community-dwelling older adults and may pave the way for a more unified concept of gait stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity of estimates of spinal compression forces obtained from worksite measurements
Jaap H. van Dieën,Gert S. Faber,Romy C. C. Loos,P. Paul F. M. Kuijer,Idsart Kingma,Henk F. van der Molen,Monique H. W. Frings-Dresen +6 more
TL;DR: This study validated a method that can be used by ergonomists to determine the effects of (characteristics of) manual materials handling tasks on back load at the worksite.
