Relation between spinal load factors and the high-risk probability of occupational low-back disorder

摘要

Spinal compression is traditionally assumed the principal biomechanical mechanism associated with occupationally related low-back disorders (LBD). However, there is little conclusive evidence demonstrating that compression is Related to occupational LBD. The objective of this research was to examine Whether axial compression in the lumbar spine can predict the probability that a Lifting task should be classified as high risk for LBD.
