Discussion Discussion
A/P shear is mechanism of risk when pushing patients
Ceiling lifts impose lowest (and safest) load on the spine
Floor based risk increases with increased required
No risky conditions were identified for this condition
control
Floor-based lifts can impose significant biomechanical Controlling lift in confined space (bathroom) poses greatest risk
risk to spine but depends upon conditions of use Turning (gradual or sharp turn) poses next greatest risk
Risk occurs primarily to the upper lumbar vertebrae (L3 Pushing without turning has minimal risk (but greater than
and above) ceiling lift)
Previous studies have not studied those levels No increased risk with ceiling lift as a function of control
May help explain the 27% of LBP associated with pushing and Operating floor based lifts on carpet or with small wheels
pulling greatly magnifies risk
These results may explain why interventions are not Small wheels and carpet together create hazardous conditions
always effective when control is required.

Conclusions Conclusions
There is no safe way to lift a patient manually (loads are
too great for body mechanics to make a difference) Low back forces and pain are initiated by spine loading
There is surveillance evidence that interventions can due to A MIX OF:

Use ceiling lifts if at all possible understanding loading conditions
When using floor mounted lifts
Use extreme caution when turning and controlling patient within
the bathroom (this is where the risk occurs)
Use extreme caution when using these systems on carpet
Dont use small wheels with floor based systems!
