New publication in Ergonomics

The BOHM lab has a new publication! MSc graduate Liana Tennant was the first author of "The effects of a simulated occupational kneeling exposure on squat mechanics and knee joint load during gait" published in Ergonomics.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect kneeling for 30 minutes, in simulated occupational tasks, had on muscle control and forces about the knee joint when walking soon after this exposure. Overall, participants had higher peak knee adduction moments and muscular activation onset was delayed in the thigh post-kneeling. These findings suggest that clinically relevant outcomes may be modulated through kneeling exposure, but future work is required.

Congratulations Liana!
