Back Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Redesigning Patient Handling Tasks to Prevent Nursing Back Injuries
This study is one of several initiated by the investigators to reduce musculoskeletal injuries in patient care providers. Nurses have one of the highest incidences of work related back injuries of any profession. Over the past 20 years, efforts to reduce work-related injuries in nursing have been largely unsuccessful.
Background:
This study is one of several initiated by the investigators to reduce musculoskeletal
injuries in patient care providers. Nurses have one of the highest incidences of work
related back injuries of any profession. Over the past 20 years, efforts to reduce
work-related injuries in nursing have been largely unsuccessful.
Objectives:
The goal of this study is to reduce the incidence and severity of occupational
musculoskeletal injuries in nursing through the redesign of stressful patient handling
tasks. This study addresses three objectives: 1) conduct a quantitative, biomechanically
based, ergonomic evaluation of the eleven "at risk" tasks in nursing practice; 2) redesign
the techniques or equipment needed to perform these tasks safely or with reduced risk of
musculoskeletal injury; and 3) conduct laboratory- based assessment of the biomechanical
benefit of the proposed intervention strategies.
Methods:
Using a randomized experimental design with a control group, ten "at risk" tasks will be
evaluated. The sample included 160 experienced nursing staff. Data were collected using: 1)
Caregiver Data Form and Anthropometry Data Sheet; 2) 3-D Electromagnetic Tracking System; 3)
EMG; and 4) modified Borg Scale for Perceived Comfort. Include: caregiver characteristics,
joint torque, spinal forces, spinal tolerance limit and damage load limit, erector spinae
surface EMG, joint angles, percent of population capable of performing each task by gender,
velocity of lift, reach, heart rate, and perceived comfort.
Status:
This project is complete.
