“…The loading and kinematics experienced by the implants can be measured using biomechanical approaches [44][45][46] or instrumented prostheses [47]. These methods give a more accurate picture of the loadings and movements than the simplified, standardized values usually applied in simulators.…”

“…For a given torque, as the lever arm decreases, the required force proportionately increases, and these muscle forces act to increase the joint contact forces. Habitually large joint contact forces are associated with an increased risk of degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis (Varady et al, 2015).…”

Musculoskeletal injuries are commonly reported in workers employed in labor-intensive agricultural-type tasks. A novel method of determining joint angles, joint torques, and contact forces, using three-dimensional motion capture and musculoskeletal modeling, was applied to the movements of a sample of workers, engaged in the horticultural task of digging, to determine if objective biomechanical data could be correlated with a subjective visual assessment to predict risk of injury. The joint angle time histories of horticulturists were calculated from the motion capture data, and this was used to articulate a musculoskeletal model of the subjects. The joint torques were calculated using inverse dynamics methods from which the individual muscle loads were established using a cost function minimization approach. Finally, the joint contact forces were calculated including the muscle forces. The motion capture data of digging trials were observed by a team of horticulturists and physiotherapists who categorized each of the observed trials according to form, efficiency, and risk of injury. Trials demonstrating techniques which were more likely to yield injuries were identified as “examples of bad technique”; those judged to be less likely to yield injuries were categorized as “examples of good technique.” It was found that the joint torques and contact forces and their variability were lower in the trial which was identified as good technique, and consistently higher in the examples of bad technique. The results of the study suggest that measurement of joint angles, joint torques, joint contact forces, and forces in the muscles could serve as a valuable tool to develop training programs for horticultural workers engaged in certain high intensity tasks, such as digging, to effectively improve efficiency and reduce incidence of injury. It may also be possible to modify horticulture-related equipment to minimize the internal loads within the body to reduce the risk to health and, therefore, extend active participation in horticulture.

“…this opinion, however, requires confirmation in further observations [22]. among the other reasons for degenerative changes, they mention incorrect biomechanical loads directed on the hip joints during different occupational activities related to lifting, handling, climbing stairs or ladders, with or without weights [23]. the researches performed demonstrate that the most burdened is the ipsilateral hip joint (located at the same body side) during lifting and switching the load side from one to another in a horizontal plane.…”

“…the researches performed demonstrate that the most burdened is the ipsilateral hip joint (located at the same body side) during lifting and switching the load side from one to another in a horizontal plane. Herein, research results indicate that excessive loads directed on the hip may result in increased pressure on the joint cartilage, and can provoke degenerative changes [23].…”
