Back Belts in the Workplace
20 years ago, the largest prospective study study on back belt use reported no reduction in back injuries. Suddenly, the use of back belts became taboo in the workplace. The belts studied were elastic. Rigid-type lifting belts were not studied. Eileen will review recent evidence on the efficacy of rigid support belts in reducing low back injury risk.
If you have a back belt you recommend, please bring one to show!
