    Lifting heavier weights significantly decreases lumbar spine mobility, while cervical and thoracic spine configurations remain largely unaffected. This study explored how different loads impact spinal movement during a common lifting technique.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Spinal Health
    • Occupational Safety

    Background:

    • Understanding spinal biomechanics is crucial for preventing injuries, especially during manual handling tasks.
    • Previous research has explored various lifting techniques, but the specific impact of load on multi-regional spinal configuration requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify changes in cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal configuration during lifting with increasing weight.
    • To determine the relationship between lifted load and spinal segment mobility using a specific lifting method.

    Main Methods:

    • Videophotogrammetry was employed to capture spinal movements.
    • Fifteen healthy males (20-38 years) performed a straight-legs, bent-over-back lift with 0, 10, and 20 kg loads.

    Main Results:

    • Cervical and thoracic spinal segment configurations showed no significant changes with increased weight.
    • Lumbar spinal segment mobility significantly decreased as the weight load increased (p = .03).

    Conclusions:

    • The lumbar spine is most affected by increased load during this lifting method, showing reduced mobility.
    • Cervical and thoracic spine configurations appear more resilient to moderate weight increases in this lifting context.
