Webinar: Exploring the Efficacy of Portable Lift-Assist Devices to Reduce Exposures Compared to a Manual Lift

August 9, 2022 | 12:00 to 1:00 PM EDT

Paramedics have a high rate of occupational injuries, and lifting people from the floor contributes to this high incidence of injuries. Portable lift assist devices have the potential to decrease injuries experienced by paramedics during a lift, however, little is known about the efficacy of these devices in reducing musculoskeletal disorders when manually lifting a patient from the floor. This webinar discusses the results of research conducted at an Emergency Medical Services training facility comparing the Elk and Raizer lift assist devices to a manual technique when lifting a patient from the floor.
