▪ Abstract Occupational low back pain (LBP) is an immense burden for both industry and
medicine. Ergonomic and personal risk factors result in LBP, but psychosocial factors can …

With mechanical loading as the main risk factor for LBP in mind, exoskeletons are designed
to reduce the load on the back by taking over a part of the required moment. The present …

The incidence of low back pain has continued to increase in modern society, despite the
considerable amount of scientific research that has aimed to isolate its exact aetiology …

Manual order picking ranks among the most time-and cost-intensive activities in
warehouses, and it has frequently been studied in the past. The aim of existing studies was …

Lifting up objects from the floor has been identified as a risk factor for low back pain,
whereby a flexed spine during lifting is often associated with producing higher loads in the …

Study Design. The impact of various levels of mental processing and pacing (during lifting)
on spine loading was monitored under laboratory conditions. Objectives. To explore how …

With mechanical loading as the main risk factor for LBP, exoskeletons (EXO) are designed to
reduce the load on the back by taking over part of the moment normally generated by back …

Completely revised and updated, taking the scientific rigor to a whole new level, the second
edition of the Occupational Ergonomics Handbook is now available in two volumes. This …

This study evaluated loading on the low back while wearing two commercially available
postural assist exoskeletons. Ten male subjects lifted a box from multiple lift origins …

Many studies compared lifting techniques such as stoop and squat lifting. Results thus far
show that when lifting a wide load, high back loads result, irrespective of the lifting technique …
