Trunk loading and back pain
An essential function of the trunk is the compensation of external forces and loads in order to guarantee stability. Stabilising the trunk during sudden, repetitive loading in everyday tasks, as well as during performance is important in order to protect against injury. Hence, reduced trunk …

Trunk Biomechanical Responses during Sudden Loading
… position as well as uneven ground conditions on trunk biomechanical responses under sudden loading event.;In the first experiment we investigated the effects of different foot placements and load asymmetry on trunk biomechanics during sudden loading. Fifteen subjects experienced sudden release of …

Trunk Lean in Control and Osteoarthritic Gait
Trunk lean over the stance limb during gait has been linked to a reduction in the knee adduction moment, which is associated with joint loading. Differences were examined in knee adduction moments and frontal plane trunk lean during gait between subjects with knee osteoarthritis and a control group …

Pushing/Pulling Exertions Disturb Trunk Postural Stability
… alone may be insufficient to stabilize the trunk. Results may be able to be explained by slower reflex delay. The results suggested that pushing and pulling exertions have a potential risk of low-back disorders.

Telerehabilitation Devices for Motion Detection and Trunk Training
… a semi-active assist as needed four-bar linkage trunk rehabilitation device. This work tested the concept of semi-active activation force, which can be implemented in future devices to increase independency of trainings. Chapter four studied flexible joints with compliance to increase user safety …

Horizontal plane head and trunk motion during locomotion
… of the body. This study examined head and trunk movements in the horizontal plane during four walking tasks. Ten subjects performed the following tasks: normal walking (normal), walking with arm swings at twice the normal frequency (frequency), walking with large amplitude arm swings …

Measuring spinal and trunk shape using an electromagnetic sensor.
… in the clinical assessment of spinal and trunk disorders is the analysis of posture. Currently the gold-standard is restricted by repeated radiation exposure and whilst alternative surface methods are available, these are limited to detection of spinal shape only. To date, no surface …

A biogeochemical investigation of Trunk River Lagoon, Falmouth, Massachusetts
… creation, deposition and preservation within Trunk River Lagoon, encompassing sediments, microbial blooms, and mats. Through a multi-faceted approach, the research uncovers the interplay between natural processes and anthropogenic influences, shedding light on the evolutionary trajectory of …

The effect of idiopathic Parkinson's disease on seated trunk reactions
… Parkinson’s disease (IPD) is decreased trunk and balance control. These deficits in patients with IPD are not treatable, and their underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Additionally, it is not known to what extent decreased trunk control contributes to postural instability in …

Trend-Surface Analysis of the Trunk Lake Granitic Pluton, Maine
<p>A trend-surface modal analysis of the Tunk Lake granitic pluton was performed using a program for the IBM 30/40 computer (Appendix 1) by Heiner and Geller (MIRL Report No. 9) and data from Karner (1968). The quartz, total mafics, oligoclase, perthite, and albite in perthite percentages were …

A study of trunk injuries and diseases of apple trees
Owing to the prevalence of canker diseases in Missouri apple orchards, and the untold damage which they are causing, the growers are asking for information that will enable them to combat these diseases successfully. It was with the idea of obtaining additional information concerning these …

Biomechanical characteristics of low back tissues during trunk flexion-extension
… phenomenon (FRP), observed in deep trunk flexion, was performed since it is believed these mechanisms provide insight into the causes of low back injury and pain. Three methods were used to analyze the behavior of the lumbar tissues during trunk flexion-extension exercises: 1) active …

Landscapes of the Hinged Trunk: With Seams of Glass and Bone
This thesis engages the construction of a particular kind of artwork, namely an artwork that functions as an occult device, capable of affecting the physical body of the viewer as well as the space the artwork occupies. The procedure described is a process of searching out and defining the formal, …

Analysis of Lumbar Spine Kinematics during Trunk Flexion and Extension Motions
… of instantaneous axis of rotation (IAR) at which trunk angle reached 25º. Results indicated that a superior-inferior location of IAR was significantly (p<0.05) modified by the cardiovascular exercise after 12 weeks, but there was no significant effectiveness of the physical therapy exercise. …

Coordination between hand and trunk movements in a Fitts' Law task
… to examine whether coordination of hand and trunk share some sets of coordinative principles with bimanual coordination. Participants (n = 28) were required to perform a Fitts' task with the dominant hand and a Fitts' task with the trunk. These tasks were performed separately or together. The …

Evaluating obesity-related differences in upper extremity and trunk muscular capacity
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), particularly overexertion injuries, represent a significant economic burden and involve substantial adverse personal outcomes. Two important contemporary changes in workforce demographics may be associated with an increase in the future incidence and …
