Biomechanical Predictors of Functionally Induced Low Back Pain, Acute Response to Prolonged Standing Exposure, and Impact of a Stabilization-Based Clinical Exercise Intervention
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-24)Purpose: Biomechanical differences between people with low back pain (LBP) and healthy controls have been shown previously. LBP has been associated with standing postures in occupational settings. A transient pain-generating ... -
An EMG-Driven Cervical Spine Model for the Investigation of Joint Kinetics: With Application to a Helicopter Pilot Population
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-16)As the workforce has been shifting from manufacturing to office work, reports of neck pain have been on the rise. Unfortunately, the mechanism for the development of chronic neck pain still remains disputed. Most current ... -
New Insights into the Landing Phase of Reactive Stepping: Predictors of Control, Muscle Recruitment, Movement Restraints and Two-Step Responses
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-27)Preventing falls and fall-related injuries are public health challenges of the upmost importance for Canadians, particularly for older adults. Due to the severe consequences that can accompany a fall (e.g., traumatic brain ... -
Regional activation of anterior and posterior supraspinatus differs by plane of elevation, hand load and elevation angle
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)The supraspinatus is one of the muscles of the rotator cuff, and growing research on fibre type composition and mechanical advantages in specific postures suggest this muscle may have distinct anterior and posterior regions. ... -
Representing fine-wire EMG with surface EMG in three thigh muscles during high knee flexion movements
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Activation waveforms of vastus intermedius, adductor magnus, and semimembranosus have not been reported for high knee flexion activities such as kneeling or squatting, likely due to the invasive procedures required for ...
