The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different locations of load's COM and load knowledge on the erector spinae EMG and trunk kinematics during squat and stoop lifting tasks . Lumbar erector spinae EMG and trunk kinematics ( ROM and velocity ) were collected from 30 subjects ( mean age 19.4 years -+(1.3), mean height 175.8cm-+(5.1) and mean weight 72.4 kg-+(10) ER -
