An injury risk factor (IRF), which indicates the risk of adverse health effect to lumbar rachis arising from mechanical vibrations, is developed. Experiments have been conducted that consider acceleration levels at the seat of drivers, posture, morphology, density, damping rate and body mass as independent variables. A parametric finite-element model of the lumbar rachis has been generated.

Contradictions exist between studies of the 3D kinematics of the knee. We hypothesize that they are in part due to differences in the gesture performed by the subjects during kinematic assessment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of gesture variations on knee kinematics.

- The study investigates how a standardized gesture affects the reproducibility of 3D kinematic measurements in knee movements.
- Seventeen healthy male participants performed knee-bends under both standardized and free conditions, with their movements recorded using advanced motion capture technology.
- Results showed that standardized gestures significantly improved the consistency of measurements for tibial rotation, highlighting the importance of gesture standardization for accurate assessments of knee kinematics.
