Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Prospective validation of a low-back disorder risk model and assessment of ergonomic interventions associated with manual materials handling tasks

Notes: Sumario: The evaluation of low-back disorder risk associated with materials handling tasks can be performed using a variety of assessment tools. An assessment tool realistically reflects the job's injury risk, since only valid and accurate tools can reliably determine whether a given ergonomic intervention will result in a future reduction in back injuries. The goal of this study was to evaluate how well a previously reported low-back disorder (LBD) risk assessment model could predict changes in LBD injury rates as the physical conditions to which employees are exposed were changedRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 43, nº 11, November 2000 ; p. 1866-1886.Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Lesiones lumbares Trabajo físico Columna vertebral Lugares de trabajo Manipulación Otros autores: Marras, William S.
