Low back pain has been known as the most frequent musculoskeletal disorders in modern industrial society and cost by low back pain is increasing more and more. The asymmetric lifting has been identified as a major risk factor of low back pain. In this study, the muscle activity and muscle exertion level during asymmetric load handling (without trunk flexion) was estimated. The results of normalized MVC measurement were decreased about 16%, 24%, 34% respectively as the asymmetric angle was 30˚, 60˚, 90˚. From the results of EMG measurement, contralateral muscles were more active than ipsilateral muscles. RMSEMG values of right erector spinae muscles were decreased as the work posture event to 90˚ and those of left erector spinae muscles were increased until the asymmetric angle was 40˚but continually over 40˚. And for sever of subjects, activities of left and right latissimus dorsi muscles were maintained constantly, while for remainer, those were irregular.
