All of the following are improper body mechanics and maintenance that can ultimately cause bodily injuries EXCEPT?

Aligning your trunk with your abdomen
Leaning forward to reach objects
Twisting your torso while working
Working with raised shoulders

The correct answer is: Aligning your trunk with your abdomen

Incorrect options B: Leaning forward to reach objects can cause spinal strain and strain on the lower back muscles. C: Twisting your torso while working can cause strain on the spine and back muscles. D: Working with raised shoulders can lead to strain on the neck and upper back muscles. Improper body mechanics and maintenance can lead to bodily injuries. Each of the incorrect options describe actions that can cause strain on different muscles and areas of the body. Leaning forward to reach objects can cause spinal strain and strain on the lower back muscles, twisting the torso while working can cause strain on the spine and back muscles, and working with raised shoulders can lead to strain on the neck and upper back muscles. However, aligning your trunk with your abdomen does not fall under this category and is therefore the correct answer. This option may even promote good posture and body mechanics.
