A significant problem that confronts a spinal cord injured person who returns to work is how to design the work station and tasks so that pressure sores do not develop and compromise the worker's productivity. In this study, reach was investigated as a mechanism to cause weight shift during task execution. It is shown that by using an extended reach motion, it is possible to cause effective weight redistribution. By incorporating this type of motion in task design for mobility impaired workers, it should be possible to reduce their risk of developing pressure sores with a minimal effect on job performance.
脊髓损伤患者重返工作岗位时面临的一个重大问题是如何设计工作站和任务，以避免压疮的形成并影响工作效率。在本研究中，将伸展动作作为任务执行过程中引起体重转移的一种机制进行了研究。结果表明，通过使用伸展动作，可以实现有效的体重重新分布。在为行动不便的工人设计任务时加入这类动作，应该能够降低他们患压疮的风险，同时对工作表现的影响最小。
