Examination of a lumbar spine biomechanical model for assessing axial compression shear and bending moment using selected Olympic lifts

摘要

Background/AimsLoading during concurrent bending and compression associated with deadlift, hang clean and hang snatch lifts carries the potential for injury to the intervertebral discs, muscles and ligaments. This study examined the capacity of a newly developed spinal model to compute shear and compressive forces, and bending moments in lumbar spine for each lift.
