Abstract:
:Traditionally most biomechanical models that are used to estimate the loading experienced by the spine during work focus on static, two-dimensional representations of the work. However, most work tasks impose loads on the lumbar spine under dynamic, three-dimensional conditions. The objective of this study was to describe the structure and logic of a model that is capable of producing estimates of spine loading under three-dimensional motion conditions. This model is intended for use primarily under laboratory conditions. The model was designed initially for workplace simulation in which the trunk is moving under symmetric and asymmetric constant velocity lifting conditions. Future embellishments may enable the model to be used under free dynamic conditions. The model predicts lumbar spine compression, shear, and torsional forces as well as trunk torque production continuously throughout the exertion. This information may be compared with spine tolerance limits so that the risk of causing a vertebral end-plate microfracture by workplace requirements could be determined.
