8/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesFor 10 subjects in four postures, euler angle decomposition and inverse dynamics were used to determine the knee angles, the net forces, and the moments applied to the tibia during kneeling and squatting with and without kneepads.
-
12/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study examines stress transmitted to anatomic landmarks of the knee (patella, combined patella tendon, and tibial tubercle) while in static kneeling postures without kneepads and while wearing two kneepads commonly used in the mining industry.
-
7/13/2022 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper provides details on hand and finger injuries in the U.S. mining industry.
-
5/1/2015 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing the biomechanical demands of different work layouts when performing manual palletizing of small bags, and evaluates the biomechanical stresses associated with different stacking techniques.
-
12/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesTo encourage mining companies to implement knee injury training programs and interventions, NIOSH performed an analysis of workers’ compensation data for one underground coal mine in Illinois and six in Pennsylvania.
-
5/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article describes experiments simulating rib scaling from an elevated bucket to examine force generation and electromyographic responses using two types of scaling bars at five target heights ranging from floor level to 176 cm.
-
8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this study, survival analysis techniques were used to compare fatigue failure responses of elderly motion segments to a middle-aged sample. This study also evaluates the influence of bone mineral content on cycles to failure.
-
3/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThirty-six human lumbar motion segments were fatigue tested using spinal compressive and shear loads that simulated lifting a 9 kg weight in three torso flexion angles. Results indicated that stellate endplate fractures were associated with increased po...
-
1/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study's objective was to simulate the postures and loads experienced by the lumbar spine during repetitive lifting of weights in different torso flexion postures, and to analyze the fatigue failure response of lumbosacral motion segments.
-
4/1/2002 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis study evaluated spinal loads associated with lifting and hanging heavy mining cable in a variety of postures.
