Assessing dynamic spinal stability using maximum finite-time Lyapunov exponents

The objective of this work was threefold: 1) to assess how local dynamic spinal stability is affected by various factors including: the personal lift-assist device (PLAD), different loads when lifting, and prolonged repetitive work; 2) to establish the between-day reproducibility of local dynamic st...
