요추디스크 Compressive Force의 예측모형 비교

In this study, comparisons were made among three representative methods for predicting compressive forces on the lumbosacral disc: LP-based model, double LP-based model and EMG-assisted model. Two subjects simulated lifting tasks that are normally performed in the refractories industry. In the refractories lifting tasks, vertical and horizontal distance, and weight of load were varied. To calculate the L5/Sl compressive forces, EMG signals from six trunk muscles were measured and postural data were recorded using the Motion Analysis System. The EMG-assisted model was shown to reflect well all three factors considered here. On the other hand, the compressive forces of the two LP-based models were only significantly affected by weight of load.
