Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Najoua Assila"
- Najoua Assila's research primarily focuses on biomechanics and the pathomechanics associated with shoulder injuries, particularly in manual wheelchair users and various lifting tasks. She employs advanced modeling techniques such as finite element models to predict soft tissue strains and understand muscle interactions during these activities.
- Her studies also explore the impact of environmental factors, such as cross-slopes during wheelchair propulsion, and the differences in kinematics and muscle dynamics between expert and novice handlers, contributing valuable insights to ergonomic practices and rehabilitation strategies.
- Additionally, Assila investigates sex differences in musculoskeletal biomechanics, revealing significant variances in muscle activations and forces between genders during lifting tasks, thus underscoring the need for tailored ergonomic interventions.
