Previous studies have explored to saturation the efficacy of the conventional signal (such as
electromyogram) for muscle function assessment and found its clinical impact limited …

The present study describes the development of a triaxial accelerometer (TA) and a portable
data processing unit for the assessment of daily physical activity. The TA is composed of …

The modeling and measurement of the biodynamic response of the seated human body has
recently been an active research topic, with major applications to ergonomics and …

Understanding of the resonance behaviour of the human body is important in the
identification of vibration frequencies and body postures associated with back problems. In …

According to experimental studies, low‐amplitude high‐frequency vibration is anabolic to
bone tissue, whereas in clinical trials, the bone effects have varied. Given the potential of …

The causes of low back pain associated with prolonged exposure to whole-body vibration
are not understood. An understanding of non-linearities in the biomechanical responses is …

INVESTIGATION of the relationship between daily physical activity and health requires an
objective method to assess physical activity under daily living conditions with minimal …

The effect of variations in posture and vibration magnitude on apparent mass and seat-to-
pelvis pitch transmissibility have been studied with vertical random vibration over the …

The effect of the magnitude of vertical vibration on the dynamic response of the seated
human body has been investigated. Eight male subjects were exposed to random vibration …

In vehicle systems occupational drivers might expose themselves to vibration for a long time.
This may cause illness of the spine such as chronic lumbago or low back pain. Therefore, it …
