Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the task variables of a lifting job and low-back pain. One hundred and ninety-one subjects were recruited from an orthopedic or rehabilitation outpatient clinic. An interview questionnaire was administered to collect information regarding work activities involving manual lifting. The characteristics of the manual lifting that were significant in patients with low-back pain were determined to be experience, object weight, carrying distance, lifting height, frequency, and activities with pulling or pushing. Relevance to industry. The characteristics of occupational activities related to manual lifting were investigated in patients with low-back pain. This research can be used to provide direction for ergonomists in the modification of jobs for workers who perform manual lifting.
