Description
Nursing personnel are consistently listed as one of the top ten occupations for work-related musculoskeletal disorders, with incidence
rates of 8.8 per 100 in hospital settings and 13.5 per 100 in nursing home settings. Strategies to prevent or minimize work-related musculoskeletal
injuries associated with patient handling are often based on tradition and personal experience rather than scientific evidence. The most
common patient handling approaches in the United States include manual patient lifting, classes in body mechanics, training in safe lifting
techniques, and back belts.
