1.
Granata K, Gottipati P
Ergonomics . 2008 Jul; 51(8):1258-71. PMID: 18608477
Fatigue in the extensor muscles of the torso affects neuromuscular recruitment and control of the spine. The goal of this study was to test whether fatigue influences stability of dynamic...

Granata K, Rogers E
J Electromyogr Kinesiol . 2007 Jan; 17(4):384-92. PMID: 17196827
Neuromuscular factors that contribute to spinal stability include trunk stiffness from passive and active tissues as well as active feedback from reflex response in the paraspinal muscles. Trunk flexion postures...

Lee P, Granata K
Ergonomics . 2006 Mar; 49(3):235-48. PMID: 16540437
Handle or interface design can influence torso muscle recruitment and spinal load during pushing tasks. The objective of the study was to provide insight into the role of interface stability...

Russell S, Granata K, Sheth P
J Biomech Eng . 2005 May; 127(1):114-22. PMID: 15868794
Active joint torques are the primary source of power and control in dynamic walking motion. However the amplitude, rate, timing and phasic behavior of the joint torques necessary to achieve...

Granata K, Wilson S, Massimini A, Gabriel R
J Electromyogr Kinesiol . 2004 Aug; 14(5):599-609. PMID: 15301778
Effective stiffness of the musculoskeletal system was examined as a function of the characteristics of an external load. Thirteen healthy subjects provided active contraction of the ankle plantarflexion musculature in...

Granata K, Slota G, Bennett B
J Biomech . 2004 Jan; 37(2):241-7. PMID: 14706327
Neuromuscular control of spinal stability may be represented as a control system wherein the paraspinal muscle reflex acts as feedback response to kinetic and kinematic disturbances of the trunk. The...

Granata K, Padua D, Wilson S
J Electromyogr Kinesiol . 2002 Apr; 12(2):127-35. PMID: 11955985
Leg stiffness was compared between age-matched males and females during hopping at preferred and controlled frequencies. Stiffness was defined as the linear regression slope between the vertical center of mass...
8.
Granata K, Wilson S
Clin Biomech (Bristol) . 2001 Sep; 16(8):650-9. PMID: 11535346
Objective: The influence of trunk posture on musculoskeletal stability of the spine was investigated. Design: A biomechanical model was developed to evaluate the influence of posture on spinal stability. Model...

Granata K, Orishimo K, Sanford A
J Electromyogr Kinesiol . 2001 Sep; 11(4):247-54. PMID: 11532595
Biomechanical stability of the lumbar spine is an important factor in the etiology and control of low-back disorders. A principle component of biomechanical stability is the musculoskeletal stiffening generated by...

Granata K, Orishimo K
J Biomech . 2001 Aug; 34(9):1117-23. PMID: 11506782
The goal of this effort was to assess the neuromuscular response to changes in spinal stability. Biomechanical models suggest that antagonistic co-contraction may be related to stability constraints during lifting...
