TL;DR: Differences in predictions between these modeling approaches vary depending on the task simulated and the joint considered in the single-joint models of the spine and to propose modifications to improve accuracy in estimations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of two trunk biomechanical models under symmetric and asymmetric loadings.
TL;DR: Differences in predictions between these modeling approaches varied depending on the task simulated and the joint considered in the single-joint EMGAO model, mainly due to the distinct approaches to resolve the redundancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical differences between expert and novice workers in a manual material handling task.
TL;DR: The results show that the net moments at the L5/S1 joint were not significantly different for the two groups, but the handler's posture seems to be a major aspect that should be paid specific attention, mainly when there is maximum back loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative importance of expertise, lifting height and weight lifted on posture and lumbar external loading during a transfer task in manual material handling
TL;DR: Lifting height and weight lifted had more effect size than expertise on external back loading variables but expertise was a major determinant in back posture.
Journal ArticleDOI
The efficacy of training for three manual handling strategies based on the observation of expert and novice workers
TL;DR: Training based on a search approach by the learner and anchored on observations of contrasted strategies (load tilts/hands positioning and feet orientation) by experts and novices appears promising for safe handling.
