Journal ArticleDOI
ISB recommendation on definitions of joint coordinate systems of various joints for the reporting of human joint motion-Part II: shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand
Ge Wu,Frans C. T. van der Helm,H.E.J. Veeger,Mohsen Makhsous,Peter Van Roy,Carolyn Anglin,Jochem Nagels,Andrew R. Karduna,Kevin J. McQuade,Xuguang Wang,Frederick W. Werner,Bryan Buchholz +11 more
TL;DR: A definition of a joint coordinate system (JCS) for the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand is proposed and a standard for the local axis system in each articulating segment or bone is generated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sitting with adjustable ischial and back supports: biomechanical changes.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the biomechanical effects of adjusting ischial and backrest supports during sitting and found that adjusting the backrest support may help increase sitting comfort and reduce low back pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Different Sitting Postures on Lung Capacity, Expiratory Flow, and Lumbar Lordosis
Fang Lin,Sriranjani Parthasarathy,Susan J. Taylor,Deborah Pucci,Ronald W. Hendrix,Mohsen Makhsous +5 more
TL;DR: Because it increases the lumbar lordosis and promotes LC-EF, the WO-BPS posture may be a better seating option for people sitting for a prolonged time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle contribution to elbow joint valgus stability
TL;DR: This study suggested that the FCU, FDS, and FCR may function as dynamic stabilizers for elbow valgus stability, incorporating with the MUCL for all tested joint configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finite Element Analysis for Evaluation of Pressure Ulcer on the Buttock: Development and Validation
TL;DR: A comprehensive 3-D finite element model for human buttocks with the consideration of the joint configuration and realistic boundary conditions in a sitting posture is presented and may provide researchers and therapists with a powerful technique for evaluating the effectiveness of various postural modulations in preventing deep tissue ulcers.
