Dr. Marras will be giving a talk at the 14th Annual Safe Patient Handling and Mobility Conference titled "Biomechanical Evidence: No Safe Way to Manually Lift Patients".

Biomechanical Evidence: No Safe Way to Manually Lift Patients (Marras)
Based on a program of research that spans decades across industries we will examine the biomechanical forces that act upon the human body when lifting, pulling, and pushing.  We will discuss why healthcare workers are at risk for patient handling related injuries, and ways to reduce that risk through the use of mechanical devices.  We will also explore the fascinating interaction among biomechanical, psychosocial, and individual factors that influence the risk for injury.
