Work Postures When Assisting People at the Toilet
The aim of our study was to analyze home care workers movement patterns and back postures, relating them to risks while helping an ambulatory care recipient to and from the toilet in a homelike environment. We found that severe risks of unpredictable movements with exposed postures could explain many injuries. Because of high-risk injuries, we suggest decreasing the time when the care recipient stands and the home care worker helps with clothing and personal hygiene. We also suggest the development of support in front of the recipient to prevent her or him from falling forward. OA
