It is an injurious type of sport with a focus on lower extremities and high psychological pressure during matches. The stressor is linked with injuries and an increased musculoskeletal loading. This study investigates the influence of cognitive stress on the load profile of the knee joint. Twelve professional youth soccer players performed highly dynamic runs with and without additional cognitive stress. The runs were analysed with a musculoskeletal simulation software. The data analysis shows no difference in knee joint reaction loading under additional mental stress compared to the baseline. Yet running times are significantly lower in the baseline. While there is no increase in the joint loads, the running times indicate an altered movement behaviour when the subjects are exposed to additional mental demand.}, subject = {Kniegelenk}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JungtaeublAurbachMelzneretal., author = {Jungt{\"a}ubl, Dominik and Aurbach, Maximilian and Melzner, Maximilian and Spicka, Jan and S{\"u}ß, Franz and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {EMG-Based Validation of Musculoskeletal Models Considering Crosstalk}, series = {International Conference BIOMDLORE, June 28 - 30 2018, Białystok, Poland}, booktitle = {International Conference BIOMDLORE, June 28 - 30 2018, Białystok, Poland}, doi = {10.1109/BIOMDLORE.2018.8467211}, abstract = {BACKGROUND: Validation and verification of multibody musculoskeletal models sEMG is a difficult process because of the reliability of sEMG data and the complex relationship of muscle force and sEMG. OBJECTIVE: This work aims at comparing experimentally recorded and simulated muscle activities considering a numerical model for crosstalk. METHODS: For providing an experimentally derived reference data set, subjects were performing elevations of the arm, where the activities of the contemplated muscle groups were measured by sEMG sensors. Computed muscle activities were further processed and transformed into an artificial electromyographical signal, which includes a numerical crosstalk model. In order to determine whether the crosstalk model provides a better agreement with the measured muscle activities, the Pearson correlation coefficient has been computed as a qualitative way of assessing the curve progression of the data sets. RESULTS: The results show an improvement in the correlation coefficient between the experimental data and the simulated muscle activities when taking crosstalk into account. CONCLUSIONS: Although the correlation coefficient increased when the crosstalk model was utilized, it is questionable if the discretization of both, the crosstalk and the musculoskeletal model, is accurate enough.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SuessKubowitschVerkerkeetal., author = {S{\"u}ß, Franz and Kubowitsch, Simone and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Investigation of cognitive stress induced changes in spinal disc forces due to altered kinematics and muscle activity}, series = {World Congress Biomechanics, Dublin, 2018}, booktitle = {World Congress Biomechanics, Dublin, 2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SuessKubowitschVerkerkeetal., author = {S{\"u}ß, Franz and Kubowitsch, Simone and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {The influence of mental stress on spinal disc loading and muscle activity}, series = {23th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics, Sevilla, Spain, 2017}, booktitle = {23th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics, Sevilla, Spain, 2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PillingSuessKubowitschetal., author = {Pilling, A. and S{\"u}ß, Franz and Kubowitsch, Simone and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Experimental workflow for determining psychological stress from physiological biosignals}, series = {Jahrestagung der BIOMEDIZINISCHEN TECHNIK und Dreil{\"a}ndertagung der MEDIZINISCHEN PHYSIK, Dresden, Germany, 2017}, booktitle = {Jahrestagung der BIOMEDIZINISCHEN TECHNIK und Dreil{\"a}ndertagung der MEDIZINISCHEN PHYSIK, Dresden, Germany, 2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KubowitschSuessJansenetal., author = {Kubowitsch, Simone and S{\"u}ß, Franz and Jansen, Petra and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Comparison of dynamic muscular imbalances in back pain patients and healthy controls}, series = {World Congress Biomechanics Dublin, 2018}, booktitle = {World Congress Biomechanics Dublin, 2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GrossSuessVerkerkeetal., author = {Gross, Simon and S{\"u}ß, Franz and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Simulating fatigue in musculoskeletal models using surface electromyography, ECCOMAS Congress, Crete, Greece, 201}, series = {ECCOMAS Congress, Crete, Greece, 2016}, booktitle = {ECCOMAS Congress, Crete, Greece, 2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KubowitschSuessJansenetal., author = {Kubowitsch, Simone and S{\"u}ß, Franz and Jansen, Petra and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Muscular imbalances during experimentally induced stress}, series = {23th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics, Sevilla, Spain, 2017}, booktitle = {23th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics, Sevilla, Spain, 2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SuessKubowitschVerkerkeetal., author = {S{\"u}ß, Franz and Kubowitsch, Simone and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {The influence of stress on spinal loading}, series = {ESEM webconference, Dez. 2017}, booktitle = {ESEM webconference, Dez. 2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SuessPutzerDendorfer, author = {S{\"u}ß, Franz and Putzer, Michael and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Numerische und experimentelle Untersuchungen an der Wirbels{\"a}ule}, series = {Forschungssymposium Bad Abbach, Germany, 2015}, booktitle = {Forschungssymposium Bad Abbach, Germany, 2015}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{SuessKubowitschRasmussenetal., author = {S{\"u}ß, Franz and Kubowitsch, Simone and Rasmussen, John and Verkerke, Gijsbertus Jacob and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {The influence of cognitive stress on muscle activation and spinal disc load}, series = {European Society of Biomechanics meeting 2019, Vienna, Austria}, booktitle = {European Society of Biomechanics meeting 2019, Vienna, Austria}, language = {en} }
