Effect of mechanical unbalance induced by pregnancy on the muscle load of the erector spinae during a sit-to-stand motion

The objective of this study was to examine the applicability of the musculoskeletal model to the sit-to-stand (STS) motion, especially focusing on the time-varying muscle load of the Erector Spinae. The musculoskeletal model was previously developed in order to estimate the effect of mechanical unba...
