DOI: 10.1007/s10439-017-1868-7
Abstract: Underlying mechanisms of obesity-related back pain remain unexplored. Thus, we aim to determine the effect of obesity and its shapes on the spinal loads and the associated risks of injury. Obesity shapes were initially constructed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2019.02.021
Abstract: Background: Alterations and asymmetries in trunk motions during activities of daily living, involving lower extremities, are suggested to cause higher spinal loads in persons with unilateral lower limb amputation. Given the repetitive nature of most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2017.11.026
Abstract: Persons with lower limb amputation (LLA) perceive altered motions of the trunk/pelvis during activities of daily living as contributing factors for low back pain. When walking (at a singular speed), larger trunk motions among persons… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.109550
Abstract: Workplace safety assessment, personalized treatment design and back pain prevention programs require accurate subject-specific estimation of spinal loads. Since no noninvasive method can directly estimate spinal loads, easy-to-use regression equations that are constructed based on… read more here.

Numerical Investigation of Intra-abdominal Pressure Effects on Spinal Loads and Load-Sharing in Forward Flexion
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology"
DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2019.00428
Abstract: The intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), which generates extensor torque and unloads the spine, is often neglected in most of the numerical studies that use musculoskeletal (MSK) or finite element (FE) spine models. Hence, the spinal loads… read more here.
