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.

1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNine participants, six males and three females, participated in a study examining kinematic and electromyographic (EMG) responses to natural cadence stoopwalking, four-point crawling (all fours), and two-point crawling (knees only).
-
1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper examines the EMG responses of knee extensors/flexors to lifting in kneeling or squatting postures and discusses the impact of posture and kneepads on muscle recruitment and explores the implications for work in such postures.
-
3/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articlesCoal miners often handle heavy electrical power cables, weighing up to 10 kg per meter. These cables are manually lifted and attached to the mine roof to prevent damage from mobile underground equipment.
-
8/1/1997 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe study was conducted to determine whether the kneeling posture alters extension torque capabilities in isometric and isokinetic exercises as compared with standing. A split-pilot experimental design was used to evaluate the influence of posture, tru...
