Objective: This study investigated the ability to predict maximal functional lifting capacity from peak isometric lumbar extension torque and submaximal lifting mechanics.Methods: Peak isometric lumbar extension torques were measured on 26 healthy men and women, ages 18 to 39 years. In addition, their lifting mechanics were evaluated while they lifted a submaximal load. Each subject's maximal lifting capacity (kg) then was predicted from the peak torque and submaximal kinetic analysis using a linear regression model.Results: Mean values for the predicted and actual maximum weight the subjects lifted were not significantly different (50.3+/-15.6 kg and 48.5+/-17.0 kg, respectively, P>= 0.05). The correlation between predicted and criterion values was high (r= 0.96), and the total error of the prediction was 5.1 kg, Which represented 10.5% of the actual maximum value.Conclusions: This multi-faceted functional assessment model involving biomechanical analysis of a submaximal lift and maximal isometric lumbar extension strength accurately predicted a subject's maximum functional lifting capacity.
