Backaches

How does stoop lifting compare to squat lifting? We will concentrate on the hip and the shoulder joints and the trunk of the body in our study. Incorrect lifting often leads to back pain, which is a major health problem in today's society. It would be interesting and important to see what aspects of lifting in the different ways affect the back and may cause back pain.
