“…A focus of the literature to date has been the relationship between lifting technique and low back pain, with particular emphasis on the relative merits of the stoop versus squat lifting technique (Hsiang, Brogmus, & Courtney, 1997;van Dieen, Hoozemans, & Toussaint, 1999). However, very few studies have examined manual handling tasks performed by two or more persons.…”

“…Compression force limits have been recommended for safer manual material handling (MMH) maneuvers based on the premise that excessive compression loads could cause injury. Despite the well-recognized role of lifting in low back injuries [4,12,17,33,53], the literature on safer lifting techniques remains controversial [25,48]. In search of optimal lifting methods, squat lift (i.e., knee bent and back straight) is generally considered to be safer than the stoop lift (i.e., knee straight and back bent) in bringing the load closer to the body and, hence, reducing the extra demand on back muscles while counterbalancing the moments of external loads.…”

“…In search of optimal lifting methods, squat lift (i.e., knee bent and back straight) is generally considered to be safer than the stoop lift (i.e., knee straight and back bent) in bringing the load closer to the body and, hence, reducing the extra demand on back muscles while counterbalancing the moments of external loads. The importance of the squat versus stoop lifting technique has, however, been downplayed due to the lack of a clear biomechanical rationale for the promotion of either style [25,48,66]. Many workers, despite instruction to the contrary, prefer the stoop lift due to its easier operation, lower energy consumption in repetitive lifting tasks [38,42] and better balance [97].…”

“…Several occupational exposures such as static loading, heavy lifting, and repetitive bending have been noted as important risk factors (Riihimä ki et al, 1989;Hsiang et al, 1997;Elders and Burdorf, 2004). Since most of these factors are closely related to muscle fatigue, localized torso fatigue can be considered as at least a surrogate measure of LBP risk.…”
