Commercially available wrist guards reduce the frequency of wrist fractures but are not widely used as they greatly restrict movement. METHOD...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399539_6[Abstract unavailable] Language: Eng...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399541_6We explored the effect of trunk orientation on responses to visual targets in five experiments, following work suggesting a disengage deficit in covert orienting related to changes in the trunk orientation of healthy participants. In two experiments, parti...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399606_6OBJECTIVE: Older adults who have recently fallen demonstrate increased postural sway compared with non-fallers. However, the differences in postural control between older adults who were seriously injured (SI) as a result of a fall, compared with those who...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399742_6Sled simulation crash tests were made for 100% front rigid barrier crash at 50 km/h according to the China New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP) to develop a type of particular car. The results in the first test turn showed that larger deformation and submar...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399741_6Thorax compressed distortion in frontal crash tests is an important appraisal for vehicle safety according to the China New Car Appraise Program (C-NCAP). In current frontal crash dummy tests, different rib inconsistent performance may lead to different da...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399530_6Accident statistics highlight that older drivers are more frequently involved in right-of-way collisions than younger drivers. Accurately gauging vehicle speed is critical for judgement of when to pull out from a junction safely in front of oncoming traffi...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399778_6One of the most common manners of unnatural death that has been rapidly increasing in Nepal is suicide. The choice of method depends on the accessibility and availability of the means. Therefore suicide by hanging with the ligature material ranging from to...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399753_6OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the association of knee injuries with subsequent changes in body mass index and body composition during maturation in young females. METHODS: A prospective longitudinal study design was employed to evalua...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399503_6[Abstract unavailable] Language: Eng...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399792_6BACKGROUND:: Some recent reports suggest an increased risk of fractures with use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine type 2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), although results are inconsistent and a causal relationship has yet to be proven. As these ...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399551_6Sexual dimorphisms in the brain underlie behavioral sex differences, but the function of individual sexually dimorphic neuronal populations is poorly understood. Neuronal sexual dimorphisms typically represent quantitative differences in cell number, gene ...Ergonomics, Human Factors, Anthropometrics, Physiologyhttp://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_399743_6In small overlap frontal impact, vehicle longitudinal structures, like side rails, fail to absorb impact energy that leads to potential risk to occupants.
