dc.description.abstract | Five lifting methods which cover the range of techniques recommended by various back schools have been biomechanically analysed with a static sagittal-plane computer model. The analysis was performed with two load-types (compact and bulky) and three weights in the hands (44 N, 222 N and 400 N). The methods were compared in terms of predicted L5/S1 disc compression, low-back ligament strain and strength requirements at the shoulders, L5/S1, hip and knee joints. In general the method entailing a squat posture, straddle foot stance and flat back (oriented as when standing erect) yielded lower compressions, ligament strains and overall strength requirements than the other methods. | en_US |
