Assessment of an EMG-based method for continuous estimates of low back compression during asymmetrical occupational tasks

Article Abstract:

The compression normalized EMG technique, a linear normalization of erector spinae EMG to spine compression force, can play a valuable role in obtaining accurate information about exposure to low back injury risk in specific circumstances. This approach is designed only for estimates in field studies of spinal loading during extended tasks without dominant axial twisting movements. However, it has been shown to be successful in estimating probability at a selected spine compression force in most situations.

Day of the week lost time occupational injury trends in the U.S. by gender and industry and their implications for work scheduling

Article Abstract:

The impact of work schedules on the risk of occupational studies is well researched but the impact of the day of the week has not been sufficiently investigated and to bridge this gap a study was conducted of the day of the week trends, the reasons behind them, and how they affected work scheduling. Clear differences were observed by day of the week, gender and major industry sector and the analysis highlighted several factors that could be contributing to the weekend and Monday trends.

The effects of job rotation on the risk of reporting low back pain

Article Abstract:

The effect of job rotation on predictions for the risk of reporting low back pain was estimated using Low Back Pain Reporting and Time Weighted Average approaches. The effects of job rotation are not easily estimated because of the complex effect that mixing jobs has on peak and cumulative tissue loading.
