Prospective validation of a low-back disorder risk model and assessment of ergonomic interventions associated with manual materials handling tasks / W. S. Marras...[et.al.]

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 changed
