Biomechanics: Your Body at Work

This training emphasizes the importance in proper posture and lifting at the workplace to avoid injury. This course addresses the parts of the body you can injure on the job from lifting or bending in the incorrect way. This explains the methods of properly carrying weight or lifting items without damaging the spine or other parts of the body.

This course is divided into six major sections, plus an introduction at the beginning. The major sections include; Biomechanics of the Lower Back, Lifting and the Effects on the Lumbar Spine, Neutral Posture Bending the Spine, Causes of Lumbar Disc Injury, Biomechanics of the Cervical Spine, and Anatomy and Biomechanics of the Shoulder. The video shows how injuries are caused, and how maintaining a neutral posture helps prevent injuries in heavy lifting. Use this training to learn how to apply biomechanics to implement safe lifting techniques.
