The effect of pallet distances on torso kinematics and low back disorder risk
Article Abstract:
The study IS conducted to assess the effect of pallet distance with regard to a constant lift origin on the torso kinematics and a measure of low back disorder risk. It is concluded that increasing the pallet distance with regard to the lifting origin, with the intention to influence the participant to take a step during a palletizing task does not appear to be an effective intervention strategy to reduce the risk of low back disorder associated with torso kinematics.

The effects of different viewing conditions on performance in simulated minimal access surgery
Article Abstract:
A study, conducted to evaluate performance in simulated minimal access surgery (MAS) tasks under various viewing conditions, is presented. In the study, a novel 3d viewing system is compared with a state of art 2d viewing system and a direct viewing condition as a point of reference.
