Safe Patient Handling Policy includes:
- Provide trained lift teams
- Replacement of manual lifting and transferring of patients
with powered patient transfer/lift devices or by lift teams
- Employers required to adopt a patient protection and health
care worker back and musculoskeletal injury program

36,130 occupational musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) cases
- 11% of the 317,440 total cases of MSDs
- At least 1 lost day from work in 2008
Almost all (99%) of MSD cases involving patient handling
were the result of overexertion.
- Sprain, Strain, or Tear (84% of the MSD cases)

2.4 times higher odds for WMSDs
- PTs who reposition patients >10 times per day =
Odds of low back WMSDs 2.61 times higher

Superfeet insoles
Influence of a Commercially Available Orthotic Device on Rearfoot Eversion and Vertical Ground
Reaction Force When Running in Military Footwear
• Year Completed: 2003 (Published in 2007 in Military Medicine)
• Author(s): Dixon and Warren (School of Sport and Health Science, University of Exeter)
• Peak eversion was not significantly influenced by the Superfeet
• The timing of that peak eversion, however was significantly affected by the addition of Superfeet
• Peak impact force, average loading rate and peak rate of loading were all decreased when
Superfeet was used
