Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the distance between load and the ankle joint on musculoskeletal system loading. The Any-Body software with the verified model was used for calculations of loads of muscoskeletal system during the initial phase of lifting. A total of 3,485 static musculoskeletal models in different positions were analyzed, out of which 13 with optimal lumbar spine loads were selected. Recived data from model calculation were knee joint reactions, L5S1 intervertebral disc reactions and sum of squares of muscle forces. Results confirm that the musculoskeletal system loading increase with growth of the load distance. However, it is worth to notice that optimal models basing on reactions in lumbar spine are not optimal in terms of knee joint loads and energy expenditure. In addition, there was also no change in the reactions observed in the literature for a load distance of about 0.4 m. It indicates that this change may be the result of the habits of the subjects but not the actual increase in efficiency. These study is an introduction to a broader analysis of the presented issue.
