Article Synopsis
- This study examined how different metronome paces affect the stability and coordination of lumbar spine motion during repetitive lifting tasks.
- Ten participants performed trials at their own pace and at paces of 10, 15, and 20 lifts per minute, revealing that the 15 lifts/min pace was preferred.
- Results showed that while metronome pacing improved lumbar spine stability, thorax-pelvis coordination variability was highest at the slowest pace (10 lifts/min); thus, using a metronome requires careful consideration when studying movement patterns.
