Non-chemical Risk Assessment for Lifting and Low Back Pain Based on Bayesian Threshold Models

Non-chemical Risk Assessment for Lifting and Low Back Pain Based on Bayesian Threshold Models

Background: Self-reported low back pain (LBP) has been evaluated in relation to material handling lifting tasks, but little research has focused on relating quantifiable stressors to LBP at the individual level. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Composite Lifting Inde...
