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.
-
5/1/2008 - Information Circulars, Training materialsThis training package educates the mining community about possible interventions beyond kneepads that may be used to help decrease knee injury rates.
-
10/22/2016 - Research projectsA project to reduce the likelihood of knee injuries in low-seam coal miners through a systematic approach that includes the development of guidelines for improved personal protective equipment and interventions.
-
6/1/2011 - Reports of InvestigationsConsidering the potential impact of three biomechanical parameters - prolonged kneeling, crawling, and twisting on one's knees - several recommendations are made regarding when it may be most appropriate for mine workers to use specific postures.
-
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.

9/1/2010 - Conference papersTo 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.
-
8/1/2010 - Conference papersNIOSH investigated muscle activity, forces, stresses, and moments at the knee (with and without kneepads) while subjects assumed various postures, including kneeling in full flexion, kneeling at 90° of flexion, kneeling on one knee, and squatting.
-
8/1/2009 - Conference papersThe pressure applied to the patella and combined PT and TT was determined for postures associated with low-seam mining.
-
8/1/2009 - Conference papersIn this study thigh-calf and heel-gluteus contact forces were quantified to on the externally applied flexion moment in high flexion.
