[Musculoskeletal Analysis Example] Example of Lifting a Person

Simultaneously analyze the person lifting and the person being lifted! A comparison of muscle activity and the forces acting on the intervertebral discs is published.

In this article, we introduce a case study analyzing the burdens on both the person lifting and the person being lifted when lifting two or more models. In this example, we compare the burdens in two cases: lifting at a constant speed and lifting with acceleration. It is possible to analyze both the lifter and the person being lifted simultaneously. As a result, the muscle activity of the lifter was significant, while the person being lifted exhibited only a small amount of muscle activity to maintain posture. The burden on both increased when lifting with acceleration compared to lifting at a constant speed.
