Using SS has been shown to decrease muscle activity in the lower back and upper extremities. However, it is unclear if this effect varies with different bed positions. To investigate this, we studied the effects of SS use, bed height, and their combination on muscle activity during a simulated patient boost.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty-three Japanese undergraduate students (age 21.0 \u00b1 1.1 years; 14 men, 19 women) participated. Participants were asked to boost a dummy figure on the bed three times each using four conditions. During the repositioning task, electromyography of eight muscles of the lower back and upper and lower extremities, hip and knee joint flexion angles, pelvic forward tilt angle, and position of the center of mass based on the posterior superior iliac spine were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Electrophysiological activities of muscles of lower back and upper extremities were significantly lower with SS than without it in both bed positions (30% and 40% of body height); the reduction in muscle activities with SS use was 20% to 40%.
