Study Notes
Learning Objectives
- Utilize biomechanical principles for lifting analysis.
- Critically assess three distinct lifting techniques.
- Create an abatement protocol aimed at preventing common lift-related injuries.
Importance of Lifting
- Lifting is integral to daily activities.
- Direct correlation exists between improper lifting and musculoskeletal injuries, particularly back pain.
- High financial implications arise from lift-related injuries.
- Emphasis on workplace education and ergonomic design from medical professionals and ergonomists.
Biomechanics of Lifting
- Key biomechanical forces include compression, shear, and torsion.
- Training workers on biomechanically safe lifting practices is essential to minimize injury risk.
Lifting Techniques
-
Stoop Lift:
- Involves maximal trunk flexion and near-terminal knee extension without locking the knees.
- Emphasizes the importance of proper posture during lifting actions to reduce injury.
