Brief Summary:
The physical demands of patient transport, including lifting and transferring patients, are significant contributors to the high risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Previous studies have demonstrated that these workers frequently experience musculoskeletal pain. Although current prevention strategies primarily consist of passive education on posture, there is a clear need for more active, assistive methods. The emergence of wearable passive back support suits as a potential solution is noteworthy; however, robust clinical research on the effectiveness of these devices in real-world care giving environments is currently lacking.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of a wearable passive back support suit on reducing and preventing the incidence of back pain in patient transporters.
