2007 journal article

The effect of a knee support on the biomechanical response of the low back

JOURNAL OF APPLIED BIOMECHANICS, 23(4), 275–281.

By: Y. Shu n, Z. Jiang n, X. Xu n  & G. Mirka n

author keywords: lumbar; EMG; kneeling
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / physiology; Adult; Back / physiology; Biomechanical Phenomena / methods; Female; Humans; Knee Joint / physiology; Lifting; Lumbar Vertebrae / physiology; Male; Muscle Contraction / physiology; Muscle, Skeletal / physiology; Postural Balance / physiology; Stress, Mechanical; Weight-Bearing / physiology
TL;DR: The results showed that the knee support device had no effect on the activation levels of the sampled muscles, indicating that the loss of the degree of freedom from the ankle joint during the kneeSupport condition had no impact on trunk extensor muscle response. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

A laboratory study of the effects of wrist splint orthoses on forearm muscle activity and upper extremity posture

HUMAN FACTORS, 48(3), 499–510.

By: Y. Shu n & G. Mirka n

MeSH headings : Adult; Female; Forearm / physiology; Humans; Male; North Carolina; Orthotic Devices; Posture; Wrist Injuries / therapy
TL;DR: WSOs increased forearm muscle activity at large wrist deviation angles and induced awkward shoulder postures in tasks requiring significant wrist deviation. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

Effects of age on muscle activity and upper body kinematics during a repetitive forearm supination task

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL ERGONOMICS, 36(11), 951–957.

By: Z. Jiang n, Y. Shu n, J. Drum n, S. Reid n & G. Mirka n

author keywords: age; supination torque; electromyography; upper extremity kinematics; Baltimore Therapeutic Equipment Work Simulator; manual screwdriver
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is provided that age alone does not have a consistent impact on biomechanical responses during physically demanding work tasks. (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 journal article

The effect of a repetitive, fatiguing lifting task on horizontal ground reaction forces

JOURNAL OF APPLIED BIOMECHANICS, 21(3), 260–270.

By: Y. Shu n, J. Drum n, S. Southard n, G. Shin n & G. Mirka n

author keywords: slip; agriculture; lumbar injury
MeSH headings : Accidental Falls / prevention & control; Adult; Back / physiology; Back Injuries / prevention & control; Biomechanical Phenomena; Fatigue; Female; Humans; Male; Muscle, Skeletal / physiology; Occupations; Task Performance and Analysis; Weight Lifting / physiology
TL;DR: Evaluating the effects of lifting-induced fatigue of the low back extensors on lifting kinematics and ground reaction forces indicates significant increases in the magnitude of the peak anterior/posterior and peak lateral shear forces with increasing time into the lifting bout.
