Biomechanical comparison between manual and motorless device assisted patient handling: sitting to and from standing position

Résumé

Although lots of assistive devices have been studied to fight against caregivers' work-related musculoskeletal disorders, stand-and-turn devices effects on biomechanical constraints are still unknown. The aim of this study is to provide and compare quantitative data on loads in the low back area resulting from the use of a motorless stand-and-turn device and from manual patient handling. Nine caregivers participated to motion capture and ground reaction forces measurement sessions of three cases of handling: manual handling with one caregiver, manual handling with two caregivers, motorless device assisted handling. Forces and torques at the L5/S1 joint were computed through Inverse Dynamics process. Motorless device assisted handling required the smallest loads whereas manual handling with one caregiver required the biggest loads, the latter being in some cases twice as big as the former. Caregivers should use a stand-and-turn device when handling a patient from sitting/standing to standing/sitting position whenever it is possible.
