A Comparative Analysis of Lumbar Spine Mechanics During Barbell- and Crate-Lifting -Implications for Occupational Lifting Task Assessments.

CONCLUSIONS: A crate- and barbell-lifting task can be used interchangeably if assessing lifting mechanics based on peak spine motion variables. If assessments are based on the spine loading responses to task demands, however, then crate- and barbell-lifting task cannot be used interchangeably.
