App Profile: Lifting and Carrying

This app lets you analyse a person's lifting and carrying technique.

Take a photograph of a person lifting an object with the camera on your smartphone, place a few points on certain parts of the body and then enter the weight of the load and the person's sex and age. The app will calculate the strain on the intervertebral discs based on this information. This will be shown on a scale and explained. You can send the result via email.

You will also find concrete tips on how to improve your lifting and carrying technique in the app.

The app has been designed for anyone who wishes to analyse and improve lifting and carrying techniques.
