Occupational Biomechanics of Tree-Planters: A study of musculoskeletal symptoms, posture and joint reaction forces in Ontario tree-planters
Tree-planters are likely to suffer from musculoskeletal injuries during their short work season. The objective of this research is to identify the biomechanical mechanisms that contribute to these injuries with an overall goal of reducing injury frequency and severity. Pre- and post-season …

Musculoskeletal Modeling of Back-Support Exoskeletons: Comparative Evaluation of Spine Loads, Muscle Activity, and Optimization Strategies
… with manual lifting identified as a primary occupational risk factor. Back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) have emerged as a promising ergonomic intervention to reduce spinal loading during lifting tasks. While prior studies indicate reductions in trunk muscle activity with BSE use, experimental …
