Prediction of the metabolic cost of walking with and without loads

Article Abstract:

The negative effects of measuring systems on metabolic costs of walking have made predictiveequations and simulation necessary. The effectiveness of six predictive equations are compared and analyzed in laboratory conditions. It is shown that the Cotes and Meade, as well as the Pandolf equation, gave statistically acceptable predictive values for walking without load conditions. The equationsshowed minimal predictive capability biases for particular walking situations.

A fuzzy linguistic model for the prediction of carpal tunnel syndrome risks in an occupational environment

Article Abstract:

A fuzzy linguistic model was designed to evaluate the risk of developing occupational-related musculoskeletal injuries, particularly carpal tunnel syndrome, the most common form of cumulative trauma disorders (CTD). Personal, organizational and task-related risk factors leading to the development of CTS were identified. Results show that the model is capable of CTS risk prediction based on the identified risk factors.

Metabolic rate and clothing insulation data of children and adolescents during various school activities

Article Abstract:

A study examines clothing insulation and metabolic rate of school children and adolescents from data collected from various student activity levels. Clothing insulation is found to have less variation with age and more within groups, whereas lower metabolic rates than expected from adult data are supported by child data.
