Comparative evaluation of six quantitative lifting tools to estimate spine loads during static activities
Predictions of six lifting analysis tools for the spine loads were compared. 26 symmetric/asymmetric lifting tasks in upright/flexed postures were considered. Significantly different spinal loads were predicted by the tools. The potential risk of injury could vary depending on the tool used. The shortcomings of each tool and its domain of applications were identified.
