Q

Patients can fall if their center of gravity is unbalanced, because of the gravitational pull on their weight. To lift safely, you must overcome the weight of the object and know its center of gravity. People’s center of gravity is not directly center of their body. It is usually midline at 55% to 57% of their standing height.
