Abstract

This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between low back strain while assisting with wheelchair transfers and frontal cognitive function. Factors contributing to low back strain during the provision of assistance were examined by assessing cognitive function in the frontal lobe using a Go/No-go task (GNG) and basic practices of wheelchair transfer assistance. The participants, 10 men and 10 women, performed a GNG and assisted with wheelchair transfers. They were basic care skills and applications care skills. We examined the subject of low back strain using the RPE scale. The results, in basic care skills indicated that reaction times (go reaction time) on the GNG and participants' self-evaluations of care during wheelchair transfers were correlated with the magnitude of strain in their low back. In the factor analysis, low back strain and Go RT, Go% error becomes the same factor. In applications care skills, there was no association between low back strain and GNG. Low back strain of subjects, related factors was different in basic care skills and applications care skill.
