LOCOmotion field studies show potential of esense power assisted patient lifts.
Musculoskeletal disorders are a major concern in occupational healthcare. Injuries occur frequently and are often due to repeated handling of patients. With the growing numbers of obese patients and elderly people who require more assistance with daily living activities, a healthcare worker’s job becomes even more difficult. Studies conducted by research bureau LOCOmotion, however, show that the innovative esense power assist for floor-based patient lifts can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury, increase quality of care and, also important, save costs in the healthcare sector.
“The more gentle you control the lift, the easier it moves. You are rewarded for making only a small physical effort.”
