😃 In a new narrative review published in J Biomech, Kingma et al. clarify to what extent effects of an exoskeleton on low back load can be misinterpreted when relying on EMG without correction for muscle length, contraction velocity, and abdominal muscle activation. 👀 buff.ly/1qMWDXK

Great to see the result of this huge effort to better understand the course of low-back pain based on opinions from a large group of experts: link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007... Thanks to Jacek Cholewicki for leading this.

😃 In a new article published in J Biomech, Zhang et al. show that landing with foot abduction and initial lateral heel contact realigns force vectors, reducing knee joint loading. It promotes a shift from single-joint control to a multi-joint kinetic-chain synergy. 👀https://buff.ly/k7pXizM
