Understanding the biomechanical risk factors ofpatellofemoral pain (PFP) in military individuals
… in order to gain a better understanding of the biomechanical risk factors ofPFP and to develop future treatment and prevention strategies. With this in mind, the mainpurpose of the present PhD thesis is to prospectively examine individuals’ lower limbmovements with two-dimensional (2D) video …

A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF BIOMECHANICAL RISK FACTORS FOR ACL INJURIES DURING DYNAMIC ACTIVITIES
… to effectively identify individuals with at-risk behaviours, risk factors should be identified and validated carefully through appropriate prospective study designs. In the context of injury prevention in sport, the main aim of screening is to draw a line between those who are at risk of …

BIOMECHANICAL RISK FACTORS FOR ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT INJURY: WHAT DO LANDING TASKS TELL US?
… to explore the use of landing tasks to assess biomechanical risk factors associated with ACL injuries. The presented protocols included landing tasks with varying features to compare different groups of athletes or to assess the impact of task type on injury-related biomechanics and …

A Comprehensive Methodology for Assessing Biomechanical Risks Associated with Hand Tool Use: Applied to Laparoscopic Surgical Instruments
<p>Biomechanical risk factors are physical stressors that act on the neuromuscular structures of the human body and are present in all occupational settings. Repetition and intensity of tasks performed can magnify the effects of the biomechanical risks that a worker is exposed to.</p> <p>After …

Multi-object and multi-feature models of thumb anatomy for population based morphological assessment
… (CT) imaging in the characterisation of biomechanical risk factors of OA in the TMC joint using data from OA-affected and control subjects. Features related to shape, pose, and intensity in the CT images of the TMC joints from the subjects were correlated to a range of biomechanical risk …

Evaluation of movement variability and knee biomechanics during functional sporting tasks in healthy individuals and individuals following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury (ACL) and ACL reconstruction
… two very important aspects relating to injury risk, where it has been suggested that the latter may play a role in ACL injury. AimThe aims of this thesis were: to investigate MV and knee biomechanics during four common functional sporting tasks in a healthy cohort, as well as in individuals …

Assessment of ergonomic methods for the quantification of biomechanical load in manufacturing systems
… D.Lgs 81, obliges the employer to evaluate all risks, including the biomechanical risk, for guaranteeing the health and safety of workers according to the technical standards. The assessment of the biomechanical load risk consists in the evaluation of the musculoskeletal efforts, quantifying the …

Identification of in vivo material properties of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm: towards noninvasive risk assessment
… key components in a in vivo patient-specific biomechanical analysis (geometries, loading and boundary conditions, material hyperelastic properties and material failure properties), patient-specific geometries and physiological loading conditions can be obtained at a high level of spatial and …

Loading and recovery behavior of the human lumbar spine under static flexion
… that allow effective control strategies is the biomechanical factors. Among the biomechanical risk factors, exposures to repetitive static and vibratory activities are known to result in musculoskeletal disorders. A ligamento–muscular reflex activity exists in humans and animals to stabilize the …

Characterizing Human Motor Adaptation and Learning When Using Different Occupational Exoskeletons
… exoskeletons offer promising solutions to reduce biomechanical risk factors and mitigate work-related musculoskeletal disorder risks from manual labor. However, understanding how individuals adapt to these devices over time remains limited, complicating effective design, training, and deployment. …

Armband EMG-based Lifting Detection and Load Classification Algorithms using Static and Dynamic Lifting Trials
… accurate, and convenient methods for quantifying biomechanical risk exposures. In terms of lifting, the occupational work environment does not provide resources for recording the start and end times of lifting tasks performed by individual workers. As a result, automatic detection of lift starts …

Biomechanical measures of lower limb variability, and prediction of non-contact knee injuries risk factors in male athletes
… result from a non-contact mechanism. Some of the biomechanical risk factors in non-contact injuries are considered modifiable, therefore it is important to understand the mechanism of injury to modify it to be able to reduce or prevent the injuries. Also, recent studies have suggested that …
