Stoop lift
Maneuver that typically requires maximal flexion of the trunk and as near to terminal extension of the near to terminal extension of the knees (without locking) as possible.

Semi-Squat Lift
The semi-squat lift shares characteristics of the stoop and squat
Semi-squat uses a posture calling for Semi-squat uses a posture calling for knee flexion >45 degrees and trunk flexion at approximately same angulation
Greater anterior tilt of the pelvis with thisapproach in comparison with the otherlifts, promoting a lumbar Lordosis

Freestyle Lift
lift resembles in most respects the semi-squat but can differ from person to personto person
It is this variability that makes it difficult to examine during controlled studies

Trunk Kinetic Lift

Load Kinetic Lift
The load kinetic lift requires a closer approximation of the load to the body just before the initial acceleration just before the initial acceleration moment.
This lift, too, is seen as a variation of the three more standard lifts

Critique Of Lifting Techniques
A) Biomechanical Analysis: Comparison of various lifting techniques
At L5/S1 lumbar moment and compressiveforces were equal for the stoop and squatin one study
One study indicated less forces in stoop liftas compared to squat lift
![Page 19: Lifting Analysis - Yolasmcayesha.yolasite.com/resources/lifting.pdf · Lifting Essential part of everyday life Correlation with variety of Musculoskeletal injuries especially back](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051405/5a7817477f8b9a0d558e70fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
It is generally accepted that the closerthe load is placed to the body, the moresignificantly diminished the resultantsignificantly diminished the resultantcompressive forces to the lumbar spine
Employed more effectively in the semi-squat lift (load between the feet andknees) than with the stoop or squat lift
![Page 20: Lifting Analysis - Yolasmcayesha.yolasite.com/resources/lifting.pdf · Lifting Essential part of everyday life Correlation with variety of Musculoskeletal injuries especially back](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051405/5a7817477f8b9a0d558e70fa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Shear forces are significantly higher (in some cases 180%) during the squat lift.
Low back loading was significantly higher during squat lifting than with the stoop lift when lifting from the floor
![Page 21: Lifting Analysis - Yolasmcayesha.yolasite.com/resources/lifting.pdf · Lifting Essential part of everyday life Correlation with variety of Musculoskeletal injuries especially back](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051405/5a7817477f8b9a0d558e70fa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Foot placement, is contingent on the size of the load:
If the container is too wide (large) to If the container is too wide (large) to allow for proper foot placement (greater than shoulder width—approximately 30 cm [12 in]), then the ideal lift would be the stoop, since it would result in less compressive forces.
![Page 22: Lifting Analysis - Yolasmcayesha.yolasite.com/resources/lifting.pdf · Lifting Essential part of everyday life Correlation with variety of Musculoskeletal injuries especially back](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051405/5a7817477f8b9a0d558e70fa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Soft tissue compliance supraspinous and interspinous ligaments more effectively countered the lumbar moment (be it as a result countered the lumbar moment (be it as a result of shear or compressive forces) during the stoop rather that the squat and semi-squat lifts
Activation muscle modify shear forces….(proper lordotic posture)

B) Physiologic Response
Oxygen uptake/consumption, %VO2 max, the gold standard of energy expenditure, was found to be greater with the squat lift was found to be greater with the squat lift than with the stoop
Increased muscular effort in Squat and semi squat as compared to stoop lift
Tendency to Switch from the squat and semi-squat to the stoop lift because of the increased energy demands of the squat lifts

C) Perceived Exertion
Rating of perceived exertion (RPE), a subjective measure, rates the individual’s own awareness of the individual’s own awareness of the effort required to perform a particular activity
90% of the subjects rated the squat lift as more fatiguing than the stoop lift

Increased angulation of the lumbar spine in stoop lift—through flexion—causes both increased compression and shear forces to increased compression and shear forces to the intervertebral disc, it would make to prescribe the semi-squat or squat technique when an individual is required to lift heavy objects on an occasional basis.
In addition, the squat requires more energy expenditure, thus making the semi-squat the preferred lift for occasional heavy effort (four work cycles per minute).
![Page 30: Lifting Analysis - Yolasmcayesha.yolasite.com/resources/lifting.pdf · Lifting Essential part of everyday life Correlation with variety of Musculoskeletal injuries especially back](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051405/5a7817477f8b9a0d558e70fa/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The semi-squat lift allows for closer The semi-squat lift allows for closer placement of the load to the body, thus creating a smaller moment arm and less compressive force. The preferred lift between the semi-squat lift and the pure squat would be the semi-squat.
![Page 31: Lifting Analysis - Yolasmcayesha.yolasite.com/resources/lifting.pdf · Lifting Essential part of everyday life Correlation with variety of Musculoskeletal injuries especially back](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051405/5a7817477f8b9a0d558e70fa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Another more subjective measure of individual lifting tolerances uses maximum allowable weight (MAW) as a determining factor.
Maximum allowable weight (MAW) measure of individual lifting tolerances
researchers reported that 17 females selected a MAW 20.5% greater for the stoop than for the squat lift.
When comparing the squat and semi-squat exclusively, subjects chose a greater 25.4% MAW, preferring the semi squat over the squat.

Response of an individual experiencing low back pain and what adjustments are made to negotiate a lift from floor to are made to negotiate a lift from floor to waist
Asymptomatic group showed no preference between the squat or stoop lift but that more than two thirds of those with back pain (symptomatic group) had adopted the squat or semi-squat as their preferred lift
