How do you do a chair lift to lift someone with a broken spine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carefully: They must have their brace on. Avoid excessive pulling or force that could cause rotation of the spine. Gentle lifting technique keeping the spine straight is best. Provide support underneath them but no pulling or pushing force.
