Quantification of back motion during asymmetric lifting / S.A. Ferguson, W.S. Marras and T.R. Waters

Sumario: The objective of this study was to determine how trunk motion characteristics (in all three planes of the trunk) change as a free dynamic lifting task becomes more asymmetric. Trunk motion characteristics included range of motion, velocity, and acceleration. These trunk motion characteristics were quantified as a function of seven task asymmetries and three task weights
