Muscle activity during patient transfers: a preliminary study on the influence of lift assists and experience

Article Abstract:

The muscle activity patterns are examined during patient handling using manual transfers and transfers using floor and ceiling lifts and the EMG patterns during transfers from bed to wheelchair as well as patient repositioning in novices and experienced participants are examined. The results show that a further examination of the muscle activation pattern differences between experience levels could improve training techniques to develop better patient handling strategies.
