Prediction of Whole-body Lifting Kinematics using Artificial Neural Networks
… process. Knowledge about the posture and kinematics that might be employed by an individual in performing a task is an important element of these proactive approaches to task design and analysis, especially for manual materials handling (i.e., lifting) exertions. In turn, accurate models …

The influence of load on kinematics of computer-simulated sagittal-plane lifting.
Researchers have shown that lifting kinematics change predictably with increased load. To test whether these kinematics patterns are intrinsic or voluntary, a computer model was developed to simulate lifting in the sagittal plane. The eight-degree-of-freedom model included the ankle, knee, hip, …

Sex-Based Differences In Lifting Technique Under Increasing Load Conditions: A Principal Component Analysis
… determine if there is a sex-based difference in lifting technique across increasing load conditions; and, 2) to examine the use of body size-adjusted tasks and back strength-adjusted loads in the analysis of lifting technique. Eleven male and 14 female participants (n=25) with no previous history …

Principal Component Analyses of Joint Angle Curves to Examine Lifting Technique
… Device (PLAD) in terms of its effect on lifting technique, interjoint coordination, and whether sex modulates these effects and 2) to explore the use of principal component analysis (PCA) as a method to investigate lifting waveforms. Thirty participants (15M, 15F) completed a freestyle, …
