  • Title: Influence of dynamic factors and external loads on the moment at the lumbar spine in lifting.
    Author: Buseck M, Schipplein OD, Andersson GB, Andriacchi TP.
    Journal: Spine (Phila Pa 1976); 1988 Aug; 13(8):918-21. PubMed ID: 3187716.
    Abstract:
    Flexion-extension moments occurring at the L5-S1 level of the spine were calculated when subjects lifted a box weighing from 50 to 250 N. Lifting was performed at normal and fast speed, and the lifts were performed using a freestyle and a leglifting technique. The peak moment increased linearly with increasing load. The moment/load relationship was significantly influenced by lifting speed, and a higher moment occurred at each load level when lifting fast. Lifting speed was reduced when the external load was increased, particularly when the load was 150 N and higher. Moments when lifting using the leglifting technique were lower than when lifting freestyle.
