• Description:
  Among identified risk factors for low back pain (LBP), age is becoming increasingly important due largely to the increasing population of older workers in the US. Given the important role of lower back biomechanics in development of LBP, the objective of this study was to investigate differences in the active and passive mechanical responses of lower back tissues and the resultant spinal loads when persons of different age complete the same manual material handling (MMH) task.
