Manual material handling in the supermarket sector: full dataset

Figures 1-100: Trunk flexion/extension (T8 relative to pelvis), lateral bending and rotation, knee flexion/extension, and shoulder flexion/extension joint angles over the complete lifting cycles for all 50 analyzed manual material handling tasks (listed in Tables 1a and 1b).

Figures 101-152: Knee and shoulder (glenohumeral) resultant joint reaction forces, and L5-S1 axial compression, anteroposterior shear and mediolateral shear forces over the complete lifting cycles for 26 of the 50 analyzed manual material handling tasks (listed in Table 6) .

Tables 1-5 (a and b): Muscle activity of trapezius descendens and erector spinae longissimus (Table 2a and 2b), peak joint angle and ROM for trunk flexion, lateral bending and rotation (Table 4a and 4b), bilateral peak knee flexion angles (Table 3a and 3b), and bilateral peak shoulder flexion angles (Table 3a and 3b) for the 50 manual material handling tasks (description in Table 1a and 1b). The tasks are ranked from 1 to 50 (highest to lowest) for each variable. 

Tables 6-8: L5-S1 axial compression peak force and impulse, anteroposterior shear and mediolateral shear peak forces (Table 7), as well as bilateral knee and shoulder (glenohumeral) peak resultant joint reaction forces (Table 8) for the 26 manual material handling tasks that were succesfully modelled (description in Table 6). The tasks are ranked from 1 to 26 (highest to lowest) for each variable.
