Use a static analysis to compare a leg-lifting technique with a back-lifting technique when lifting a moderately heavy box from the floor. In both cases, the upper body weight is 480 N, and the box is 260 N. The upper body moment arm from the L5/S1 disc is 0.110 m for the leg-lift and 0.190 m for the back-lift. The box moment arm from the L5/S1 disc is 0.260 m for the leg-lift and 0.450 m for the back-lift. The surface of the sacrum is tilted 32ï° from the horizontal during the leg-lift and 42ï° during the back-lift. The erector spinae moment arm is 0.060 m.

Â
3.)Â What is the total compressive force on the L5/S1 disc for each lifting technique?
A. leg-lift 1480 N, back-lift 1480 N
B. leg-lift 1534 N, back-lift 2307 N
C. leg-lift 2635 N, back-lift 4020 N
