Trunk muscle use during pulling tasks: effects of a lifting belt and footing conditions.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:An enhanced methodology to extract the required coefficient of friction (RCOF) value was used to investigate the effects of the transverse shear component of the ground reaction force (GRF) on the RCOF. BACKGROUND:The RCOF is an important indicator for slip incidents. However,the extraction of the RCOF from ...
