Spinal wall muscle strength and joint center stress of L5/S1 are impacted not only by pulling Angle of wall muscle but also are more influence by the arm of force of front wall muscle. when arm is smaller less than 5.0cm before and after wall muscular strength and joint stress of L5/S1 have declined following pulling Angle increasing and there is exist a best position which make justly muscular wall strength impose soft pillar effect on the L5/S1 joint center. Appropriate using of chest and abdominal pressures also can not only ensure body balance but also obtain "soft pillar" effect on the L5/S1 joint and at the same time spinal muscular wall is needed simply smaller force.in other factor unchanged the flexor a condition of human spine shall have much more before and after wall strength and stress of L5/S1 places than upright position which hints people to avoid proneness to bend over while daily work especially when the people proneness to move things which more should reduce heavy torque as far as possible.
