Acceptable assessment methods

Supportive:

Training

Initially, the classic ergonomic exercises give an insight in the lifting techniques. Ideally, these exercises are adapted to stage / performance situations, with extra attention to lifting, bending, turning, twisting movements and cooperation. After initial training continuous attention is required during day to day activities.
