Title
Dynamic Shear and Normal Forces on Patient Skin in Sling Lift Transfers
Abstract
The sling lift transfer system is commonly used in hospital and care home settings to transfer immobile and limited mobility patients from bed to chair or gurney. Even though this is the current standard of care, injuries to patients because of the forces applied to skin by the lift occur frequently.
