introduction: preventive measures such as training and awareness and prevention skills for personal protection in the musculoskeletal areas are one of the most important strategies in health care systems. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an educational intervention based on health belief model (hbm) on promoting preventive behavior of musculoskeletal problems in female afg...

background : lifting methods, including standing stance and techniques have wide effects on spine loading and stability. previous studies explored lifting techniques in many biomechanical terms and documented changes in muscular and postural response of body as a function of techniques .however, the impact of standing stance and lifting technique on human musculoskeletal had not been investigat...

the purpose of this study was to estimate the torque from high‑density surface electromyography signals of biceps brachii, brachioradialis, and the medial and lateral heads of triceps brachii muscles during moderate‑to‑high isometric elbow flexion‑extension. the elbow torque was estimated in two following steps: first, surface electromyography (emg) amplitudes were estimated using principal com...

introduction: musculoskeletal pain accompanied by psychological problem lead to reduce the efficiency of adolescents; so, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and its association with psychological factors among female adolescents. materials and methods: the target population of this cross sectional study was female students (3625 in total) from both private and ...

Abstract. Musculoskeletal modeling is a technique for studying joint contact forces and moments during movement. Subject-specific models can achieve high accuracy in estimating forces. Construction of subject-specific models, on the other hand, remains costly time-consuming. The objective this study was to determine what changes could be made generic musculoskeletal improve estimation effect th...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate musculoskeletal symptoms and working conditions of university workers with and without contact with an Erggi action model. METHODS A quasi-experimental and longitudinal field study design examined effects of the Erggi action model with 3 types of questionnaires filled by 1000 university workers. The statistical analyses used logistic regression...

Background and Aim: Previous gait analysis of partial foot amputee subjects has focussed on quantification of joint angles, moments and powers without quantifying muscle forces. This research aimed to develop a subject-specific musculoskeletal model of a partial foot amputee gait to quantify muscle forces of a lower limb affected by a mid-foot amputation during walking non-invasively. Technique...
