The Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton (NAMRU-D) is conducting a series of funded biomechanics studies requiring a biologically-assisted, electromyography-driven, computational spine model for the cervical and lumbar spine. These studies require the understanding of dynamic multi-level spinal loads, muscle forces, and coactivation. The projects discussed include: •· "Development of an assessment for neuromuscular trunk instability" PoP end date: 30 SEPT 2021 •· "Influence of cognitive workload and personality type on muscular coactivation of the cervical spine" PoP end date: 30 SEPT 2022 •· "Spinal loads during rotary-wing vertical vibration exposure" PoP end date: 30 SEPT 2023 The objective is to use the biomechanical measurements from the projects discussed as inputs into a biologically-assisted, electromyography-driven, spine model to retrieve outputs of spinal loads and muscle forces.
