Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of dynamic factors on triaxial net muscular moments at the L5/S1 joint during asymmetrical lifting and lowering.
Denis Gagnon,Micheline Gagnon +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dynamic factors do influence the load on the spine and the influence of both lifting and lowering on the loading of the spine is highlighted and the maximal velocity and acceleration produced during lifting should be included.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manual handling techniques: Comparing novices and experts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the techniques used by six expert handlers and six novices during a free handling task, where each subject had to transfer three sets of 16 boxes from a platform to a four-wheel cart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of two 3-D segment models to calculate the net reaction forces and moments at the L(5)/S(1) joint in lifting
TL;DR: The use of the lower body model seemed to present some advantages over the upper body model because of the nature of the task analysed which did not require large accelerations from the lower part of the body.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscular mechanical energy expenditure as a process for detecting potential risks in manual materials handling.
TL;DR: Evaluating two tasks (lifting and lowering) performed at five different heights with five different loads revealed the adoption of different movement strategies in the handling of heavier loads, and the deviation of height of handling from the waist level was revealed to be a significant factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lumbo-sacral loads and selected muscle activity while turning patients in bed
TL;DR: The results suggest that a change of direction in the trunk motion may present some risks for the spine and recommendations are made for reducing spinal loading.
