Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of ship accelerations on three-dimensional low back loading during lifting and pulling activities

TL;DR: It appeared that a substantial reduction of lowback loading by favorable timing is not a realistic option, and designing tasks in such a way that they are located midship would reduce the 99th percentile of predicted low back moments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hamstrings co-activation in ACL-deficient subjects during isometric whole-leg extensions

TL;DR: It is concluded that ACL-deficient subjects show a task dependent increase in hamstrings co-activation, but its clinical significance remains to be shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perturbation-based gait training to improve daily life gait stability in older adults at risk of falling: protocol for the REACT randomized controlled trial

TL;DR: This study aims to evaluate the effect of a 4-week perturbation-based treadmill training on daily-life dynamic gait stability and reducing fall risk and falls in 70 older adults of 65 years and older, living in the community and with an elevated risk of falling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trunk muscle control in response to (un)expected turns in cart pushing

TL;DR: Anticipatory activation was initially absent in the unexpected sharp turn, while bilateral trunk rotator muscle activity increased after the turn, indicating co-contraction, and the combination of an uncontrolled twisting motion with delayed muscle activation may increase the potential risk of low-back injury.
