Reliability of occupational therapists in determining safe, maximal lifting capacity
Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, 1999 Determination of an individual’s lifting capacity is an important component in Functional Capacity Evaluation, which is widely used to delineate potential for work. Despite a recent surge in the number and types of Functional Capacity Evaluations, and therefore in approaches to determining lifting capacity, there has been limited research to support ...

Occupational lifting by nursing aides and warehouse workers
Ergonomics, 1989Nursing aides (18 women and six men) at one traditional and one modern geriatric ward, and warehouse workers (16 men) at two different types of warehouse departments were studied during occupational work. The vertical load during manual handling was measured using strain gauges built into wooden shoes. The warehouse workers performed four times as many

Lifting Posture Prediction With Generative Models for Improving Occupational Safety
IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems, 2021Lifting tasks have been identified to be highly associated with work-related low back pain. Posture prediction can be used for simulating workers’ posture of lifting tasks and thus facilitate the prevention of low back pain (LBP). This study adopts two generative models, conditional variational encoder and conditional generative adversarial network, to

The effect of feedback training on lumbosacral compression during simulated occupational lifting
Ergonomics, 2004This study measured the effect of a feedback training program on lumbar compression during simulated occupational lifting. Two distinct types of feedback were compared: real-time electromyographic feedback, vs. an acceleration index delivered verbally post-lift.

Retinal detachment and occupational lifting: rediscovering lost knowledge
, 2013 Retinal detachment (RD) is the separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. Studies of the incidence of RD give estimates ranging from 6.3 to 17.9 cases per 100.000 person-years. We hypothesize that the Valsalva manoeuvre performed during lifting might increase the risk of RD.

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
