Spinal loading and lift style in confined vertical space
2020, Applied ErgonomicsCitation Excerpt :It is well recognized that lifting can place considerable stress onto the lumbar spine and serves as a major risk factor for occupational low back disorders (LBDs) (Bernard, 1997; Griffith et al., 2012; Hoogendoorn et al., 2002; NRC, 2001). Risk factors that have been shown to exacerbate biomechanical risk associated with lifting include lifting heavy loads, high frequencies of lifting, lift asymmetry, and lifting in awkward or restricted postures or confined spaces (Coenen et al., 2014; Hoogendoorn et al., 1999; NRC, 2001; Picavet and Schouten, 2000). While the first three of these risk factors (object weight, lift frequency, and lift asymmetry) have historically been addressed via implementation of assessment techniques and guidelines designed to control LBD incidence (Ferguson et al., 2005; Marras et al., 1999; Snook and Ciriello, 1991; Waters et al., 1993), many are appropriate for standing lifts only and are not applicable to job tasks performed in confined spaces.
Asymmetry of lumbopelvic movement patterns during active hip abduction is a risk factor for low back pain development during standing
2016, Human Movement ScienceCitation Excerpt :Epidemiological studies have shown that jobs requiring prolonged standing are associated with increased reports of LBP (Andersen, Haahr, & Frost, 2007; Macfarlane et al., 1997; Picavet & Schouten, 2000; Roelen, Schreuder, Koopmans, & Groothoff, 2008; Tissot, Messing, & Stock, 2009).
Psychological Factors Are Related to Pain Intensity in Back-Healthy People Who Develop Clinically Relevant Pain During Prolonged Standing: A Preliminary Study
2016, PM and RCitation Excerpt :Epidemiologic studies have shown that jobs requiring prolonged standing are associated with an increased risk for the development of low back pain (LBP) [1-5].
Evaluation of load carriage systems used by active duty police officers: Relative effects on walking patterns and perceived comfort
2016, Applied ErgonomicsCitation Excerpt :Evidence is increasingly suggesting that the underlying cause of musculoskeletal injury in police is associated with the requirement to wear heavy ballistic protection vests and carry equipment belts (Burton et al., 1996). Given that there is an established link between load carriage and low back pain (Picavet and Schouten, 2000; Orloff and Rapp, 2004), it is considered important to determine how the load carried by police affects performance of tasks typically encountered in policing. This information could significantly aid future researchers in the development of safer and healthier load carriage designs for police.
Is lumbar lordosis related to low back pain development during prolonged standing?
2015, Manual TherapyCitation Excerpt :Low back pain (LBP) accounts for 40% of worker's compensation claims in the U.S. (Guo et al., 1995) and results in the loss of over 100 million workdays each year (Atlas et al., 2004). Prolonged, low load, static postures such as standing during work and everyday activities have been associated with increased risk for developing LBP (Picavet and Schouten, 2000). Although standing for prolonged periods of time is common, not all people who are exposed to prolonged standing will develop LBP.
