Assessment of Postural Load during Melon Cultivation in Mediterranean Greenhouses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Health and safety at work directly influence the development of sustainable agriculture. In the agricultural sector, many farm workers suffer musculoskeletal disorders caused by forced posture. The objective of this research is to assess working postures

Sensitivity of the Cervical Disc Loads, Translations, Intradiscal Pressure, and Muscle Activity Due to Segmental Mass, Disc Stiffness, and Muscle Strength in an Upright Neutral Posture

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Musculoskeletal disorders of the cervical spine have increased considerably in recent times. To understand the effects of various biomechanical factors, quantifying the differences in disc loads, motion, and muscle force/activity is necessary.

A computationally efficient strategy to estimate muscle forces in a finite element musculoskeletal model of the lower limb.

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanics, 2019
Concurrent multiscale simulation strategies are required in computational biomechanics to study the interdependence between body scales. However, detailed finite element models rarely include muscle recruitment due to the computational burden of both the

Psychometric evaluation of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) with Dupuytren's contracture: validity evidence using Rasch modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Dupuytren’s contracture is a progressive, fibroproliferative disorder that causes fixed finger contractures and can lead to disability. With the advances of new therapeutic interventions, the necessity to assess the functional repercussions of

Twente Spine Model: A thorough investigation of the spinal loads in a complete and coherent musculoskeletal model of the human spine.

open access: yesMedical Engineering and Physics, 2019
Although in vivospinal loads have been previously measured, existing data are limited to certain lumbar and thoracic levels. A detailed investigation of spinal loads would assist with injury prevention and implant design but is unavailable. In this study,

Building a Bird: Musculoskeletal Modeling and Simulation of Wing-Assisted Incline Running during Avian Ontogeny [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Flapping flight is the most power-demanding mode of locomotion, associated with a suite of anatomical specializations in extant adult birds. In contrast, many developing birds use their forelimbs to negotiate environments long before acquiring “flight ...

Muscle Contributions to Upper-Extremity Movement and Work From a Musculoskeletal Model of the Human Shoulder

open access: yesFront. Neurorobot., 2019
Musculoskeletal models enable movement scientists to examine muscle function by computing the mechanical work done by muscles during motor tasks. To estimate muscle work accurately requires a model that is physiologically plausible.

A comprehensive model of adjustment to pain in the co-occurrence of PTSD and chronic musculoskeletal pain: vulnerability and protective pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
There are a significant comorbidity between PTSD and chronic pain. Thus, studies clarifying the vulnerability and protective variables and mechanisms associated with PTSD and chronic pain are needed.

Monitoring osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional survey in general practice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
<b>Background</b> Despite being a highly prevalent chronic condition managed predominantly in primary care and unlike other chronic conditions, osteoarthritis (OA) care is delivered on an ad hoc basis rather than through routine structured ...

Biomechanical Analysis of the Lower Limb: A Full-Body Musculoskeletal Model for Muscle-Driven Simulation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Musculoskeletal model is a useful tool to evaluate the complex biomechanical problems, simulate and evaluate the injuries, estimate the muscle-tendon forces, and joint the torques during motion and predict the effects of orthopedic surgeries.
