  • Demands on the Knee During Kneeling and Squatting Activities Common to Low-seam Mining
    Department of Health and Human Services: / National Institute for Occupational Safe
    In 2009, the operating height of approximately one fourth of underground coal mines in the U.S. restricted mine workers to kneeling, crawling, and/or stooping posture to perform work [MSHA 2009). The large number of knee injuries to these workers is likely attributed to exposure to musculoskeletal disorder risk factors (prolonged kneeling, crawling, and twisting on one’s knees)...
