What are the four ways to reduce the amount of force required by the back extensor muscles during lifting?
- reduce acceleration
- reduce magnitude of external load
- reduce the length of external moment arm
- increase length of internal moment arm
How does the squat lift compare to the stoop lift?
squat lift reduces the torque demand about the lumbar spine but increases the total work required to lift a load
How does the vasalva maneuver impact the spine during lifting?
- creates rigidity in spine by increasing intra-abdominal pressure and decreasing volume by activating core muscles to decrease the demand on lumbar spine muscles = more stability and stiffness in lumbar region
