Lifting Mechanics

Lifting Mechanics is a biomechanical framework that systematically analyzes the coordinated movement patterns, joint forces, and muscular activations involved in the act of lifting objects, distinguishing it from general motion analysis by its specific focus on load-bearing, posture-dependent, and ergonomic performance factors.
