Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Repetitive forward flexion of the lumbar spine can result in creep deformation which can disrupt load sharing between active and passive tissues. Lumbar spine kinematics and lumbar erector spinae (LES) electromyography were used to measure flexion relaxation (FR) angle changes across two lifting conditions matched for cumulative external load (Condition 1: 75 lifts of 13 kg load, Condition 2: 150 lifts of 6.5 kg load). Males showed increases in FR onset angle in response to the low load, high repetition condition, while females displayed increases in these metrics in the high load, low repetition condition. This work suggests that task design of a repetitive lifting task, and creep accumulation in the lumbar spine may be sex specific and future work should look to consider both task parameters, as well as worker demographics when designing and evaluating repetitive lifting task.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
