Deliberate Practice and Motor Learning Principles to Underpin the Design of Training Interventions for Improving Lifting Movement in the Occupational Sector: A Perspective and a Pilot Study on the Role of Augmented Feedback

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2021
Spine posture during repetitive lifting is one of the main risk factors for low-back injuries in the occupational sector. It is thus critical to design appropriate intervention strategies for training workers to improve their posture, reducing load on ...

Non-chemical Risk Assessment for Lifting and Low Back Pain Based on Bayesian Threshold Models

Safety and Health at Work, 2017
Background: Self-reported low back pain (LBP) has been evaluated in relation to material handling lifting tasks, but little research has focused on relating quantifiable stressors to LBP at the individual level.

0204 Retinal detachment and occupational lifting: the evidence to date [PDF]

Oral Presentation, 2017
Introduction There is an “oral tradition”, especially among myopics, that heavy lifting leads to retinal detachment (RD). Some years ago, searching the literature, we failed to find evidence supporting this theory. Then, in the early 2000s, we performed a case-control study to test the hypothesis that repeated lifting tasks could be a risk factor for ...

Cumulative occupational lumbar load and lumbar disc disease : results of a German multi-center case-control study (EPILIFT)

, 2009
Background The to date evidence for a dose-response relationship between physical workload and the development of lumbar disc diseases is limited. We therefore investigated the possible etiologic relevance of cumulative occupational lumbar load to lumbar
