520  ‎$a‎Sudden unexpected loading has been identified as a risk factor of work-related low back pain (LBP). This study investigated the effects of different foot placements and load-releasing locations on trunk biomechanics under an unexpected sudden loading event. Fifteen subjects experienced sudden release of a 6.8-kg external load from symmetric or asymmetric directions while maintaining four different foot placements. The results showed that subjects experienced on average 4.1° less trunk flexion, 6.6 Nm less L5/S1 joint moment and 32.0 N less shear force with staggered stance with the right foot forward (the most preferred placement) compared with wide stance (the least preferred placement). Asymmetric load-releasing positions consistently resulted in smaller impacts on trunk biomechanics than symmetric positions. The findings suggest that staggered stance and asymmetric load-holding position can be used as a protective load-handling posture against LBP caused by sudden loading.
