Evaluation of the trunk biomechanical responses to seated whole-body vibration exposure

Abstract

Risk factors for low-back disorders -- Whole-body vibration -- Spinal stability -- Assessment of the neural control subsystem -- Assessment of the passive subsystem -- Assement of active subsystem -- Reliability of centre of pressure measures of postural steadiness in healthy subjects -- Sudden loading perturbation to determine the reflex response of different back muscles : a reliability study -- Laboratory study to quantify the biomedchanical responses to whole-body vibration : the influence on balance, reflex response, muscular activity and fatigue -- Sensitivity of different trunk biomechanical responses to seated whole-body vibration -- Reliability of th different biomechanical measures
