Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of use of assistive devices, type of them which were a transfer board and sliding seat, and posture while using them on the low back load by measuring of the low back compression and share force obtained by three dimensional dynamic biomechanical analyses. Of the ten healthy subjects participating in this study, nine adopted role of caregiver and one was a simulated patient. Five tasks were conducted; transferring from a bed to a wheelchair without any assistive devices, transferring using a transfer board and a sliding seat with standing posture, and transferring using them with kneeling posture. As the results, use of assistive devices significantly decreased the low back compression and share force. Use of assistive devices with kneeling posture caused smaller low back compression and share force than these while using them with standing posture. Same effects were obtained while using both assistive devices.
