| Research Abstract |
Most nurses suffer from some lower back pain(LBP). This study focuses on "twist" which is one of factors of LBP. We measured the twist angle of the lumbar region and the surface electromyogram (EMG) in three methods of transferring a patient from a bed to a wheelchair. We suggest the method which can compare the differences of the load on the lumber region by quantifying the twist in each nursing practice.
