| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to establish an efficient assistance method by the mechanical examination of compression force on caregivers who assist in the transfer of severely disability patients from their beds. The subjects were 22 young adult females. Care-giving movements were examined by ultrasonic 3D motion analysis (Zebris) and Rapid upper limb assessment : RULA. The compression force and risk factor were compared using the transfer-belt and non transfer-belt. The body trunk, lumbar intervetebral disk, and pelvic angle in standing-up and sitting-down movements were examined with and without a belt for assistance. The compression force on the lumbar intervertebral disk region caused by tasks was significantly lower at the start and end of tasks with than that without a belt for assistance (P<0.05). There was a highly positive correlation between the pressure on the lumbar region and RULA (r=0.81), and such pressure on the lumbar region could be estimated by postural evaluation during assistance.
