Abstract:
Theatre nurses regularly stress their body when they support patients' limbs for prepping. This makes nurses vulnerable to back or upper limb pain. The Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow and the West of Scotland Department of Clinical Physics and Bio-Engineering, have developed an electrically braked limb support system to take the weight from the nurse.
