Not Just an Ache: Examining the Rate of Musculoskeletal Pain in City Bus Drivers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This paper examines the rates of musculoskeletal discomfort in a sample of 957 city bus drivers at King County Metro, a public transportation agency serving the greater Seattle area. It also examines how often such pain prevented drivers from doing their

On the Value of Estimating Human Arm Stiffness during Virtual Teleoperation with Robotic Manipulators

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Teleoperated robotic systems are widely spreading in multiple different fields, from hazardous environments exploration to surgery. In teleoperation, users directly manipulate a master device to achieve task execution at the slave robot side; this ...

Improving Musculoskeletal Model Scaling Using an Anatomical Atlas: The Importance of Gender and Anthropometric Similarity to Quantify Joint Reaction Forces

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2019
Objective: The accuracy of a musculoskeletal model relies heavily on the implementation of the underlying anatomical dataset. Linear scaling of a generic model, despite being time and cost efficient, produces substantial errors as it does not account for

Incorporating family function into chronic pain disability: the role of catastrophizing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background. Observers' responses to pain are recently investigated to more comprehensively explain chronic pain (CP) and disability. However, the role of family context, defined as interference in roles, communication, and problem-solving, and how (i.e.,

Effects of Sex and Gender on Adaptation to Space: Musculoskeletal Health [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
There is considerable variability among individuals in musculoskeletal response to long-duration spaceflight. The specific origin of the individual variability is unknown but is almost certainly influenced by the details of other mission conditions such ...

Relation of Muscles Coordination to the Major Degrees of Freedom in Three Upper Limb Motions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied and Computational Mechanics
The development of musculoskeletal models aims to facilitate the evaluation of muscle function and coordination during daily activities. These models are validated using surface electromyography (EMG) data to ensure accurate representation of ...

Postural control of a musculoskeletal model against multidirectional support surface translations

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The human body is a complex system driven by hundreds of muscles, and its control mechanisms are not sufficiently understood. To understand the mechanisms of human postural control, neural controller models have been proposed by different research groups,
