ABSTRACT:
A raised grip shovel has the handlebar with the back grip at one end and a front grip being raised to a level of the back grip during a shovel operation. Such elevation of the front grip can be achieved by curvilinear shape of the handlebar or by various support elements. A front grip position can be adjusted in accordance with a person's particular height, arm length and physical conditions. The angular and spacial relocation of the front grip straightens the posture and increases the digging thrust. The change of the posture alleviates the back stress by shifting the load to the legs and lower back muscles which are significantly stronger than muscles of the upper body.
