Other safe patient handling includes e-Tool specific modules, acute care and long term healthcare workers, home healthcare workers, the physical therapists, radiologists, sonographers; their training resources and other additional resources especially technology helps practices and experience of health workers should reduce the risk of injuries during work.
It should be included the good practice of lifting weights, for example like this:
* Try to get as close to the load as possible.
The farther away is the load compared to the vertical axis of your body, the more stress is imposed on your back. If necessary, squat to lift the load and pull it between your legs. This method brings the load closer to the center of your body and makes sure you do not have to bend at the waist. However, since the leg muscles are the largest muscles in the body, they need the most energy. Repeated squats can be very tiring and they reduce a person's ability to lift in this way for a sustained period of time. In addition to lifting the load, you also lift most of your body weight. Other strategies must be used to perform repeated uprisings.
* Avoid lifting heavy objects placed below your knees.
Heavy objects should be placed and stored below shoulder level and above knee level. If you think a load is too heavy and can not be lifted without difficulty, do not take a chance. Use mechanical help, divide the load into components or ask for help. The most common cause of back injuries is too heavy a load.
* Keep your back straight.
This means that you should not bend at the waist by extending your arms to lift an object. It is best to bend especially at the hips rather than at the waist if you hold the bow back.
* Keep your hand on your thigh.
If carrying a load with one hand, such as when moving a toolbox, place your free hand on the outer side of your thigh and keep it in position. This will help maintain proper back alignment rather than leaning to one side while lifting. When carrying a heavy load, leaning to the side can exert as much tension on the spine as leaning forward.
* Tighten the abdominal muscles.
This technique helps to prevent you from twisting the spine. If you lift a load and need to set it aside, move your feet to turn around. After repeated uprisings, you may find that you become a little lazy and forget to move your feet. You can resist this tendency if the place where you put the load is at least a step away from where you lifted it.
* Keep a good physical shape.
Soft tissues, just like muscles, play a vital role in enabling people to move and use their bodies. Strength and fit muscles will maintain neutral postures throughout the day. When you bend at the waist to lift, the load is ten times heavier than its actual weight, and this, because of the principle of the lever. It is important to keep your body in shape to help prevent injuries. Maintaining good physical fitness plays a very important role in maintaining a balanced lifestyle!
* Do warm-up exercises.
There is more back injury in the morning because the trunk is much less flexible and mobile at this time of the day. A few minutes may be enough to warm muscles and tendons cold and stiff. All professional athletes recognize the importance of warming up; "athletes at work" should recognize it too.
