Abstract
The occupation of manual materials handling has long been a source of musculoskeletal injuries. The largest portion of these injuries affect the lower back. The quantification of dynamic factors such as load, speed of lift, and mode of lift and their effects on the functional capabilities of individuals will increase in importance in worker selection due to legal implications that the Americans with Disabilities Act (1991) provides. Four subjects were tested under conditions of varying dynamic factors to determine their effects on the predicted compressive forces at the lumbrosacral joint l5/S1), the power output of the joints, as well as the contribution of each joint to the total body power.
