A Longitudinal Study of Low-Back Pain as Associated with Occupational Weight Lifting Factors
AIHA Journal, 1973A review of the biomechanics of weight lifting as it relates to low-back stresses is presented first. This serves as the basis for the development of a Lifting Strength Rating (LSR) methodology. Then a study is reported wherein the LSR methodology is used to evaluate 103 jobs having various amounts of required two-handed load lifting.

Isokinetic Lifting Strength and Occupational Injury
Spine, 1992One hundred seventy-one nurses had their back strength evaluated on an isokinetic lifting device and filled out an epidemiologic questionnaire. They were then followed prospectively for 2 years to determine the incidence of job-related low-back injuries.

Occupational injuries and patient lift usage among physical rehabilitation therapists
Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 2022BACKGROUND: Physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) are at high risk for work-related musculoskeletal pain and discomfort. OBJECTIVE: Determine the prevalence and exposure risk factors for work-related injuries (WRIs) among rehabilitation PTs and PTAs. METHODS: A cross-sectional research survey was conducted among 170 PTs and

Relationship between Lifting Capacity and Injury in Occupations Requiring Lifting
Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1978There are several factors which affect the lifting capacity. These factors can be categorized under the following: 1. individual characteristics, 2. task variables, and 3. environmental conditions. This paper presents the methods used to determine the lifting capacity for male and female industrial workers, as well ...

The relative importance of whole body vibration and occupational lifting as risk factors for low-back pain [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2003 AIMS: To explore the impact of occupational exposure to whole body vibration (WBV) on low back pain (LBP) in the general population and to estimate the burden of LBP attributable to occupational WBV in comparison with that due to occupational lifting ...

Lifting injury: a study of the occupational health perspective
Nursing Standard, 1997This article reports the results of a national questionnaire survey of 66 occupational health staff regarding the circumstances of nurse injury. Eight causative factors were identified as either a frequent direct cause or major contributory factor. Three circumstances were identified when nurses are most at risk of injury.

Occupant Protection and Standup Forklift (Lift Truck) Dynamics
Advances in Bioengineering, 2003This paper investigates dynamic standing postural stability during standup forklift operation through a series of live subject tests to determine the sensitivity to loss of stability and falling. Through a set of controlled tests, the tolerance to accelerations in the lateral, oblique, and longitudinal orientations is determined.

Occupational lifting and adverse pregnancy outcome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2020This systematic review was conducted to help clarify the effect of lifting at work on pregnancy outcome, by focusing on specific exposure categories. A search in Medline and Embase identified 51 articles reporting association of spontaneous abortion (SA), preterm delivery (PTD) or small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant with exposure to occupational ...

Occupational Safety in Industry
The legal and normative regulation system of occupational and industrial safety for enterprises operating load-lifting mechanisms and lifting equipment, including subway escalators, passenger cable cars and funiculars, and cable-propelled material transport systems (load-lifting cranes and hoists), has been considered.
