TL;DR: This paper reviews recent experimental evidence concerning the distribution of forces and moments acting on the lumbar spine and suggests that incorporating this information into mathematical models will make them better able to identify which activities are most likely to injure the lumbsar spine in life.

TL;DR: Differences between the techniques varied with lifting speed and method of lifting, and could be attributed to differences in anthropometric assumptions, antagonistic muscle activity, damping of transient force peaks by body tissues, and, specific to the NN, underestimation of trunk flexion.

TL;DR: The calibration method does not influence extensor moments predicted by the electromyographic technique in asymmetric lifting, suggesting that simple, sagittal-plane calibrations are adequate for this purpose.
