This paper presents: the analytical results of the association between the MAPO index and acute low back pain
MAPO index.Disabled patient/operator ratios (NC/Op and
PC/Op)Lifting factor (LF)Minor aid factor (AF)Wheelchair factor (WF)Environment factor (EF)Training factor (TF)
Disabled patient/operator ratios (NC/Op and PC/Op)
Total number of operators
Number of disable patients
Totally Non-Cooperative(NC)
Partially Cooperative(PC)
Lifting Factor (LF) Assessment of patient lifting
devices
sufficient number
One/eight NC patients
Inadequate
environmental features
poor state of repair
cannot be used for the type of
patient
Minor Aid Factor (AF)
Equipment: sliding sheet, transfer disc, roller, ergonomic belt
reducing lifting frequency and/or biomechanical overload produced by move the patient
Wheelchair factor (WF):
Assessment of wheelchairs and/or
commodes
sufficient number
equal to at least half of the number of
disabled
ergonomic requiremen

Arm rests
Back rest
Equipped with
reliable brakes

exceeding 70 cm

Environment factor (EF)
Training Factor (TF)
- Course lasting 6 h, divided into a theoretical section and practical exercises on techniques for lifting patients with least overload- Practical exercises on the correct use of equipment
Classification of MAPO index results
The green band(0- 1.5) risk is negligible, prevalence of LBP = general population (3.5%)
The yellow ‘alert’ band(1.51 - 5) LBP may have an incidence 2.4 times higher than green
bandIntervention: aid equipment and training
Calculation of the MAPO index
MAPO=(NC/OP ×LF+PC/OP × AF)×WF× EF× TF
The red band, exposure index above 5, higher risk
LBP have an incidence up to 5.6 times higher the expected incidence
an immediate intervention plan must be made for health surveillance, aid equipment, training and environmental improvement.
