Anthropometry of south Indian industrial workmen

Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Uppugonduri, Krishna G. (Taylor & Francis, 1992-11)

This paper presents the results of an anthropometric survey conducted on South Indian male workers in the electronic industry. The data were collected as part of a project to modify work stations that utilized equipment ...
Cross-sectional area of the lumbar back muscles as a function of torso flexion

Jorgensen, Michael J.; Marras, William S.; Gupta, Purnendu (Pergamon, 2003-05)

Quantification of the maximum anatomical cross-sectional area of the lumbar back muscles as a function of torso flexion angle and development of prediction equations as a function of torso flexion and anthropometric measures.
Design-oriented functional capacity evaluation: the available motions inventory--a review

Malzahn, Don E.; Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Kattel, B. P. (Informa Healthcare, 1996-08)

The accommodation of a task to the unique abilities of an individual with a disability is becoming increasingly the responsibility of the employer. Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) provides the information necessary ...
The effect of pallet distance on torso kinematics and low back disorder risk

Jorgensen, Michael J.; Handa, Amit; Veluswamy, Prabaharan; Bhatt, Manish (Taylor & Francis, 2005-06)

Intervention research for prevention of occupational low back injuries has focused on the effects of reducing extreme torso flexion and the external moment. Little is known about prevention strategies for torso twisting ...
Effect of torso flexion on the lumbar torso extensor muscle sagittal plane moment arms

Jorgensen, Michael J.; Marras, William S.; Gupta, Purnendu; Waters, Thomas R. (Elsevier BV, 2003-09)

Accurate anatomical inputs for biomechanical models are necessary for valid estimates of internal loading. The magnitude of the moment arm of the lumbar erector muscle group is known to vary as a function of such variables ...
Psychophysical lifting capacity over extended periods

Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Ayoub, M. M.; Smith, James L. (Taylor & Francis, 1991-01)

The effect of time on an individual's lifting capacity over extended periods using a psychophysical approach was studied. Twelve male subjects estimated their lifting capacity in a 25 min period, and then attempted to lift ...
Psychophysically acceptable weights for a combination lifting task using bags with handles

Fredericks, T. K.; Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Rodrigues, C. C. (Human Ergology Society, 1994-12)

This paper presents a study on a combination lift and lower manual handling task and was designed to simulate the loading of grocery bags into a car trunk. Twelve male subjects performed an externally paced task of lifting ...
Torso loading via a harness method activates trunk muscles less than a hand loading method

McMulkin, Mark L.; Woldstad, Jeffrey C.; Hughes, Richard E. (Pergamon, 1998-04)

There is a need for data comparing muscle activity under equivalent moments at the torso using different loading methods. In torso biomechanics, it is often necessary to apply moments to people and then measure or predict ...
Training of ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy

Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Pitetti, Kenneth H. (W.B. Saunders, 1993-05)

The effect of training on the physical work capacity (PWC) and the physiological response to simulated tasks of seven ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) were studied. Energy demand for each work task was ...
