An evaluation of backpack harness systems in non-neutral torso postures

APPLIED ERGONOMICS, 38(5), 541–547.

By: S. Southard n & G. Mirka n

author keywords: backpack; electromyography; awkward postures
MeSH headings : Adult; Back Injuries / prevention & control; Biomechanical Phenomena; Equipment Design; Ergonomics; Female; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Postural Balance / physiology; United States; Weight-Bearing / physiology
TL;DR: The subjective and objective results show a significant improvement with the advanced harness system but also note an interesting interaction with degree of sagittal flexion, indicating a diminished effectiveness of the design improvements at forward flexed postures. (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.
