Generally a person who is suffering from some kind of deceases and requires continuous monitoring by doctor and may require external aids like oxygen, blood transformation, saline etc. for cure is known as a patient. He is generally admitted in a hospital. The patient is confined to bed in hospital and is required to be moved to other places for taking X-ray or undergoing sonography or CT scan procedure. The handling of the patient is rather difficult and is required to be planned meticulously. In patient handling, a lot of problems are being faced by nursing staffs, the people who handle the patient at home, and the patient himself. These problems consist of pain to patient, in various portions of body like shoulder, back, legs, etc; while moving him from one place to another place. In the hospitals, the nursing staff is also facing some health problems like pain in their shoulders and backbone, as they have to do the work of patient handling repeatedly. The main objective of this research work is to analyze the various stresses induced in the trolley-cum-wheelchair, used for patient handling.
