title: Second in a series. Personal factors contributing to back injury in home care.
abstract: A healthy back is necessary for every activity a person undertakes--whether at work, home, or anywhere else. Preventing back problems is more effective than treating them after they happen. If a person gets a back injury, it may not be caused just by a single activity, but by many activities and lifestyle choices that have added up over time.
