An Enhanced Spine Model Validated for Simulating Dynamic Lifting Tasks in OpenSim.
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A fully articulated thoracolumbar spine model had been previously developed in OpenSim and had been extensively validated against experimental data during various static tasks. In the present study, we enhanced this detailed musculoskeletal model by adding the role of passive structures and adding kinematic constraints to make it suitable for dynamic tasks. We validated the spinal forces estimated by this enhanced model during nine dynamic lifting/lowering tasks. Moreover, we recently developed and evaluated five approaches in OpenSim to model the external loads applied to the hands during lifting/lowering tasks, and in the present study, we assessed which approach results in more accurate spinal forces. Regardless of the external load modeling approach, the maximum forces predicted by our enhanced spine model across all tasks, as well as the pattern of estimated spinal forces within each task, showed strong correlations (r-values and cross-correlation coefficients > 0.9) with experimental data. Given the biofidelity of our enhanced model, its accessibility via the open-source OpenSim software, and the extent to which this model has been validated, we recommend it for applications requiring estimation of spinal forces during lifting/lowering tasks using multibody-based models and inverse dynamic analyses.
