  This is a compendium of patient-handling techniques to be employed by an individual or a team in lifting the sick, the injured or the disabled. The aim is to ensure safer, more comfortable lifting of patients and to avoid back-pain injuries to the lifter. The lifts and variations are detailed, illustrated by photographs and line drawings, and a tabulated list of lifts assists the reader in selecting the correct lift for the circumstances. The revised second edition contains a new lift, plus up-to-date statistics on back pain.
