For many healthcare professionals, transferring patients poses a substantial risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders. Reducing manual handling during these patient transfers by properly using adequate tools can lower the number of injuries and the duration of unavailability for work. A challenging case for patient positioning is seen in spine surgery in the procedure known as proning: after sedation, the patient is rolled over and then positioned onto supporting thoracicpelvic supports (the prone position). This way of patient positioning is usually carried out manually, where the patient is either tilted or lifted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
