Opis:
Ergonomics in healthcare is still in its infancy. The responsibilities of healthcare personnel include taking care of the health of the whole population. That is why it is very important to care about healthcare personnel. This article is a presentation of a survey conducted in Slovakia. The survey focused on nurses who work directly at their patients’ beds. The objective of the survey was to verify the physical load of nursing profession and to determine the most frequently musculoskeletal disorders of nurses. The survey was conducted in the form of the Nordic Questionnaire. The results of the survey confirmed the most serious difficulties for nurses with the musculoskeletal apparatus. The results also showed pain-related dependence in one body part of a nursing professional depending on his or her profile. However, the analyses included in this article can be applied to any company management, not only nurses.

Objectives This study has investigated the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), the most commonly affected body parts, the risk factors of WMSDs and the coping strategies adopted by hairdressers. Material and Methods The study design was a cross-sectional descriptive survey design. Two hundred and ninety-nine hairdressers (242 females and 57 males) from salons in Surulere and Mushin Local Government Areas of Lagos State completed a 27-item questionnaire. They were selected using a non-probability consecutive sampling technique. The inferential analysis was conducted using the Chi² test. The level of significance stood at p < 0.05. Results The 12-month prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders stood at 75.6%. Two hundred and twenty-one (91.3%) participants reported gradual onset of musculoskeletal disorders. One hundred and sixteen (47.9%) participants had the onset of the WMSDs at the age range of 26–35 years. The most commonly affected body parts included the low back (76.3%), shoulder (62.5%) and neck (46.3%). Some of the major job risk factors of the WMSDs that were identified included: working in the same position for long periods and attending to a large number of customers in 1 day. Taking sufficient rest breaks by participants was one of the coping strategies adopted by the participants. The mean number of years of working experience was 7.85±0.4 years. One hundred and twenty-four (41.5%) participants had worked for 1–5 years. The Chi² analysis showed that the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders were significantly associated with the age of a participant (Chi² = 78.78, p = 0.001), years of working experience (Chi² = 78.03, p = 0.001) and hours spent working in a standing position (Chi² = 8.77, p = 0.01), respectively. Conclusions The age of hairdressers, their years of working and the long hours they spent working in a standing position may be significant factors that contribute to the high prevalence of the WMSDs among them. The most commonly affected body parts included the low back, shoulders and neck.

Opis:
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are significant workplace problems affecting occupational health, productivity and the careers of dental professionals. The prevalence of MSDs is on the rise for all types of dental workers. In spite of different patterns of work culture, there are parallel levels of symptoms in dentists across nations. Risk factors for MSDs are multifactorial. Symptoms appear very early in careers, with higher prevalence of MSDs even during educational training. Ergonomics improvements, health promotion and organizational interventions are necessary to reduce the risk. An interdisciplinary approach with progressive efforts should be taken to address MSDs in dental professionals.

Objective. This study aimed to develop a system for predicting work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) among dental students. Materials and methods. The system comprised 2 accelerometer sensors to register neck and upper back postures and movements, and software developed to collect and process the data. Hidden Markov models (HMMs) were used to predict the likelihood of WMSD in dental students by comparing their neck and upper back movement patterns with WMSD and non-WMSD HMMs learned from previous data. To evaluate the performance of the system, 16 participants were randomly assigned into a 2 × 2 crossover trial scheduled for each sequence of working: receiving feedback or no-feedback from the system. The primary outcome measure was the extension of the neck and upper back, before (pre-test) and after (posttest) receiving feedback or no-feedback from the system. The secondary outcome measure was the log likelihood of classifying the movements as WMSD. Results and discussion. The results showed that in the group that received feedback, the extension of the neck in the y axis and of the upper back in the y axis decreased significantly (t test, p < .05) on the post-test. Conclusion. The system for predicting and preventing WMSD aids the correction of the extension of the neck and upper back in the y axis.

Opis:
This study investigated the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and associations with organizational, physical and psychosocial working conditions among 520 nursing personnel in Tehran, Iran. The results of the cross-sectional study on aids and different educational levels of nurses showed that the participants experienced 88% of MSDs in at least one body region during the past 12 months. The 3 most prevalent body regions were the low back (65.3%), knee (56.2%) and neck (49.8%). The participants reported inflexible work schedule, poor quality of devices for transferring patients, overexertion and job dissatisfaction. Physical and psychosocial exposure revealed an elevated odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of MSDs. The results showed a combination of high physical and psychosocial work demands along with low control over the work which increased work-related stress and enhanced the risk of MSDs. This study findings could help to understand work-related MSDs among nursing personnel in a developing country where the work situation and sociocultural context differ from other countries.

Objectives The study aims to assess the impact of municipal waste loading occupation upon developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and thereby disabilities among waste loaders. Additionally, the study has identified the potential risk factors raising MSDs and disabilities. Material and Methods A cross-sectional case-control design survey was conducted in 6 out of 24 municipal wards of Mumbai during March–September 2015. The study population consisted of municipal waste loaders (N = 180) and a control group (N = 180). The Standardized Modified Nordic questionnaire was adopted to measures the MSDs and thereby disabilities in the past 12 months. A Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method was applied to assess the impact of waste loading occupation on developing MSDs and disabilities. Results Waste loaders had a significantly higher risk of developing MSDs as well as disabilities than the control group particularly for low back, hip/ thigh upper back and shoulder. Propensity Score Matching results revealed that the MSDs were significantly higher among waste loaders for hip/thigh (22%), low back (19%), shoulder (18%), and upper back (15%) than matched control group. Likewise, MSDs-related disabilities were found to be significantly higher among waste loaders for low back (20%), hip/ thigh (18%) upper back (13%) and shoulder (8%) than the control group. Duration of work, substance use and mental health were found to be the potential psychosocial factors for developing the risk of MSDs and disabilities. Conclusions The municipal waste loading occupation raised the risk of MSDs and related disabilities among waste loaders compared to the control group. The preventive and curative measures are strongly recommended to minimize the burden of MSDs and disabilities. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(6):875–886

Opis:
Healthcare workers, especially those with direct patient contact are amongst professions with the highest rate of workrelated musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), physical therapists (PTs) being one of them. Our objective was to review current knowledge relating to the prevalence, risk factors and prevention of WMSDs among PTs. Pubmed, Google Scholar and PEDro databases were searched for terms relating to WMSDs in PTs from inception to 2015. The prevalence of WMSDs among PTs was high, with lifetime prevalence reported as 55–91%, and 12-month prevalence ranges 40–91.3%, and the lower back as the most frequently affected, with estimates of a lifetime prevalence ranging 26–79.6%, and a 12-month prevalence ranging 22–73.1%, followed most often by the neck, upper back and shoulders. The major risk factors for workrelated low back pain (LBP) were: lifting, transferring, repetitive movements, awkward and static postures, physical load, treating a large number of patients in a single day and working while injured. Low back pain seems to be age- and genderrelated with a higher prevalence in females, younger PTs and PTs working in rehabilitation settings. Physical therapists, as a consequence of work-related LBP, may seek treatment, modify their daily living and leisure (lifestyle) activities, use aids and equipment or change their specialty area either within the profession or by leaving it. Skills and knowledge as to correct body mechanics do not prevent work-related injuries. Mechanical aids used for a patient transfer should be adopted by PTs and new strategies should be developed to reduce their WMSDs without compromising the quality of treatment.

Work performed in a sitting position, despite the fact that it does not require a lot of physical effort, can be the cause of many musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), especially when performed for a long time and in the wrong position. Musculoskeletal disorders are currently a common problem in the working population. The article presents an analysis of selected literature on the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders among computer operators. Particular attention was paid to the classification and reasons for the emergence of MSD. The latest reports on the occurrence of the disorders and the costs they generate, due to the inability to work and sick leaves, were also discussed. Med Pr. 2019;70(4):511–21

Opis:
The real burden of occupational diseases, specifically work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), and its impact on workers’ productivity is not known. The situation is critical in developing countries where only cases that cause workers’ disability are recorded. In this study, the incidence of MSDs in Colombia was estimated by using the age and gender specific double incidence rate of repetitive strain injuries diseases in Finland for 2002. The results showed that the estimated number of MSDs recorded in Colombia during 2005 was 23,477 cases at the rate of 11.6 cases per 10,000 workers. The estimated total cost of these MSD cases relative to workers’ productivity was US $171.7 million, representing around 0.2% of Colombia’s Gross Domestic Product for 2005. The systematic appraisal of the incidence of MSDs and their associated cost on workers’ productivity are necessary in developing countries to reduce the costly impact on productivity and to increase workers’ well-being.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the severity of symptoms and the level of disability or difficulty associated with MSDs in the neck, shoulders, upper limbs, lower back, and lower limbs as well as the factors associated with MSDs.Material and MethodsThis investigation collected demographic, health (36-Item Short Form Survey [SF-36]), and occupational related-factors for supermarket cashiers through the administration of several questionnaires, including the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain.ResultsOne hundred ninety-three supermarket cashiers participated in this study. The mean scores for disability levels included NDI (M±SD 18.62±14.57), ODI (M±SD 20.74±13.89), DASH (M±SD 15.08±13.90), and LEFS (M±SD 63.06±14.24). Regression analyses demonstrated the existence of significant relationships between the experience of MSDs and several other factors, including the number of working days per week, the preferred working position, marital status and the need for awkward positions.ConclusionsThe results indicate MSDs that signified a mild disability level among young participants. The number of working days per week, the preferred working position, the need to assume awkward positions, and marital status were significantly associated with MSDs. The findings indicated the need for preventive to avoid or minimize the prevalence of MSDs among supermarket cashiers.

This paper presents 2 musculoskeletal disorders questionnaire surveys in 10 different Chinese occupational groups. Data collected from 1,603 workers using a modified Nordic musculoskeletal disorders symptom questionnaire showed that the 12-month prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the low back and shoulder-neck regions, was high at many Chinese workplaces. Significant differences existed between occupational groups. Assembly workers usually had higher neck-shoulder complaints compared to workers in most other occupations. However, the nature of assembly seemed also to influence the prevalence rate. Workers at a cassette recorder and a TV set assembly plant appeared to have more neck complaints compared with a group of thermos flask assemblers.

Background This study was done to see the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among information technology (IT) professionals in Saudi Arabia, the risk factors associated with them, their consequences, and to propose some preventive measures. Material and Methods A self-administered online questionnaire that included questions on the demographic data, job nature, medical history, work-related pain after joining information technology profession and distribution and severity of pain was sent to 250 information technology professionals working in Saudi Arabia. Results Out of 250, 202 (81%) IT professionals participated in the study. At least 62 (32%) reported that they have developed some type of musculoskeletal pain after joining their profession and 38 (61%) respondents further reported that it was so severe that they had to seek some sort of treatment for their pain. On the Visual Analog Scale ranging 0–10, 14 (23%) respondents reported that their worst ever pain was >7. Despite lower representation 67% of the females reported to develop work-related pain. Conclusions Development of work-related musculoskeletal pain among information technology professionals has been shown to affect their activities of daily living. It may even force them to change their work setting or reduce working hours. Information technology sector has rapidly grown in Saudi Arabia in the recent times and there is no data on the incidence or prevalence of such disorders among them. Role of ergonomics and counseling should be emphasized during their training that help them work effectively and efficiently. A similar large-scale study should be conducted to see the effect of lifestyle related to COVID-19 on the lives of working population especially IT professionals.

The main aim of this paper was to identify job stressors, gender responses and association of psychosocial work stressors with prevalence of work related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among foundry workers. The data were obtained with ergonomics checklist using Likert scale. The results of this study showed a high prevalence of MSDs among workers. The male workers were more prone to pain in neck while the female workers were more prone to MSDs in upper back and shoulders. Correlation analysis showed significant relationship of dimensions of work aspects with pain and discomfort. It proved that the work-related MSDs are the results of interaction of multiple stressors associated with work and work environment, and other personal factors. ANOVA indicated that the perception of work aspects as stressors differed significantly between male and female workers.

Opis:
This study was undertaken among 100 randomly selected bus conductors from 2 routes. A questionnaire study based on the modified Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire, assessment of physical and physiological parameters, analysis of working postures and a detailed work study were performed. The analysis revealed that conductors had a work schedule of 16–18 h each day; the duration of work could vary from 15 to 20 days at a stretch. Discomfort leading to musculoskeletal disorders mainly affecting the leg (93.3%), knee (83.3%), shoulder (80%) and back areas (56.7%) had the highest 12-month prevalence rates and increased day by day.The conductors also suffered from extreme physiological stress due to prolonged working hours in hazardous standing posture conditions, excessive work pressure and minimum rest between trips. Consequently, all those factors affected their health and work performance.

Opis:
Carpet weavers suffer from musculoskeletal problems mainly attributed to poor working postures. Their posture is mostly constrained by the design of workstations. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of 2 design parameters (weaving height and seat type) on postural variables and subjective experience, and to develop guidelines for workstation adjustments. At an experimental workstation, 30 professional weavers worked in 9 different conditions. Working posture and weavers’ perceptions were measured. It was shown that head, neck and shoulder postures were influenced by weaving height. Both design parameters influenced trunk and elbows postures. The determinant factor for weavers’ perception on the neck, shoulders and elbows was found to be weaving height, and on the back and knees it was seat type. Based on the results, the following guidelines were developed: (a) weaving height should be adjusted to 20 cm above elbow height; (b) a 10º forward-sloping high seat is to be used at weaving workstations.

Objectives: Musicians represent a very specific professional group, which due to some occupational hazards is exposed to different health problems known as playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs). The aim of this study was to assess correlations between the level of physical activity, and the occurrence of musculoskeletal pain among young instrumentalists. Materials and Methods: Total of 225 Polish musical school students were investigated. To assess the study participants' physical activity level, the moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) index was used. To assess pain complaints on the side of the musculoskeletal system, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was applied. The NMQ questionnaire was complemented by adding a visual-analog scale (VAS), which also allowed to assess pain intensity on a numerical scale 1-10. Results: The pain localized in neck, shoulders, upper and lower back was reported significantly more often by the participants who did not meet standard criteria for the recommended or minimal physical activity level. Conclusion: Performing the recommended health-oriented physical activity may reduce the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in young musicians.

Objectives. This study was to determine the prevalence and work-related risk factors of neck–upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among video display terminal (VDT) users. Methods. A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted; there were 60 VDT users and 35 controls. The participants filled in a structured questionnaire, had electrophysiological tests and an X-ray of the neck. Results. The prevalence of MSDs was higher (28.3%) among VDTs users compared to controls (14.3%) with no statistically significant difference. The prevalence of cervical disorders with or without radiculopathy (18.3%) was the most common disorder followed by carpal tunnel syndrome (6.6%). The mean (SD) age of MSD cases (51 ± 7.2 years) was statistically significantly higher than of the controls (42.8 ± 9). Physical exposure to prolonged static posture (OR: 6.9; 95% CI: 0.83–57.9), awkward posture (OR: 5.5; 95% CI: 0.6–46.4) and repetitive movements (OR: 5.5; 95% CI: 0.65–46.4) increased risk of MSDs with a statistically significant difference for static posture only (p < .05). VDT users experienced more job dissatisfaction, work-overload and limited social support from supervisors and colleagues. Conclusion. VDT use did not increase the risk of neck–upper extremity MSDs. The risk increased with older age and static posture.

Opis:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of physical and personal risk factors on sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders in an Iranian car company. In this cross-sectional study, 234 workers participated and all of them had sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders in the past year. A physical risk factor checklist and personal information questionnaire were used as data-gathering tools. There was no significant relationship between physical risk factors and sick leave (p > .05). Cigarette smoking (p = .045), body mass index >30 (p = .046) and age (p = .044) showed a significant relationship with sick leave. Workers with lumbar deviation of 20°–60° (OR 1.10) and >60° (OR 1.11) were at greater risk. The ratios for workers with repetitive work (OR 1.30) and workers with force exertion (OR 1.36) were greater than for other workers. Taking preventive actions to improve the ergonomic working conditions of assembly workers and their lifestyle seems crucial.

Introduction and objective. Musculoskeletal disorders are frequently met in dentistry. Objectives. To show the efficiency of rehabilitation and to make correlations among patients’ pain levels, their overall health status, and the number of days of work absenteeism. Materials and method. A total of 390 dentists diagnosed with low back pain, scapulohumeral periarthritis, cervicobrachial neuralgia, hand osteoarthritis, tendinitis or tenosynovitis of the upper limb, carpal tunnel syndrome, spinal deformities and fibromyalgia, were followed in a 2-year prospective study. For each ailment the patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 followed both medical and rehabilitation treatment, while group 2 followed medical treatment. The patients were assessed by the visual analogue scale (VAS), the Health Assessment Questionnaire adapted for Dentists (HAQD) and the number of days of absenteeism. Results. VAS scores did not significantly differ between the two groups at the beginning of the study but were significantly lower at final assessment. HAQD scores were significantly lower at one-year and two-year assessments in Group 1. The number of days of absenteeism did not differ significantly between the two groups at the initial assessment. Nevertheless, the number of days of absenteeism was significantly higher for Group 2 patients at the end of the study. For increased values of the visual analogue scale at the beginning and at the end of the study, the significantly increased numbers of days of absenteeism and of health assessment questionnaire scores were associated. Conclusions: Improvements of functional parameters and increase in work productivity were recorded in dentists who followed physical therapy.

Objectives:To determine the magnitude, distribution and associated ergonomic factors of upper extremities musculoskeletal disorders (UEMSD) among workers of electronic assembly in Thailand. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. 591 of 853 workers in an electronic and electrical appliance assembly factory in Bangkok, Thailand, participated in this study. A self-administered questionnaire consisting of demographic data and ergonomic factors was collected from October 2010 to January 2011. Clinical examination of each worker was performed by an occupational physician. The criteria for diagnosis of UEMSD came as a result of a consensus reached by a group of orthopedists. The associated factors were analyzed using a multiple logistic regression. Results: The point prevalence of clinically diagnosed UEMSD was as follows: radial styloid tenosynovitis - 13.03% (95% CI: 10.31-15.75), trigger finger - 9.48% (95% CI: 7.11-11.84), carpal tunnel syndrome - 8.12% (95% CI: 5.91-10.33), lateral epicondylitis - 3.38% (95% CI: 1.92-4.85), and medial epicondylitis - 1.69% (95% CI: 0.65-2.73), respectively. The adjusted odds ratio with statistical significance associated with UEMSD was as follows: high force of wrist - 1.78 (95% CI: 1.06-2.99), awkward posture of wrist - 2.37 (95% CI: 1.28-4.37) and contact stress at wrists - 1.75 (95% CI: 1.02-3.00) to develop radial styloid tenosynovitis. For trigger finger, the ratios were awkward posture of fingers - 2.09 (95% CI: 1.12-3.90) and contact stress on finger - 1.86 (95% CI: 1.04-3.34). For medial epicondylitis, it was an awkward posture of using elbows - 3.14 (95% CI: 1.10-8.95). However, this study did not find any associations between repetitive motion and any UEMSD. Conclusions: UEMSD are most commonly found in electronic assembly workers. The relevant parties should provide comprehensive ergonomic resolution for these workers.

A comparative study concerning the incidence of psychosocial factors and stress on musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) was conducted on 30 males carrying out a computer-aided design (CAD) task and on 26 females carrying out a data entry task. Both populations completed a questionnaire concerning complaints of MSD, stress symptoms, psychosocial factors and working life. This study showed that the work context was more favourable to the data entry task operators than to the CAD task operators. In addition, there were relationships in CAD and in data entry between complaints of MSD and stress variables as well as between anguish and psychosocial factors. This field study has shown the importance of stress and of the work context in the occurrence of MSD in computer work.

Objectives To investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders amongst dentists who work in public clinics in São Paulo, Brazil, to investigate their awareness of the presence of risk factors in the workplace, disability due to pain, and the influence of pain on this awareness and disability. Material and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 204 dentists who work in public health clinics in the northwest of São Paulo, Brazil. The data was collected through interviews, using the Nordic Questionnaire and the Work-Related Activities that May Contribute to Job-Related Pain Questionnaire. In the case of workers who reported pain, the Pain Disability Questionnaire (PDQ) and the Numeric Pain Scale were also administered. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 21.0. Results Most dentists (81.4%) had musculoskeletal disorders, especially in the neck, shoulders and lower back. We found that the presence of symptoms in the neck (15.7%), shoulders (12.7%) and lower back (15.7%) were the major causes of absenteeism over the past 12 months. Occupational risk factors perceived as the most problematic ones were: bending or twisting the back in an awkward way, continuing to work when injured or hurt and working in the same position for long periods. Comparison between the symptomatic and asymptomatic dentists showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in the perception of occupational risk factors. The analysis of the intensity of pain and disability with PDQ in the symptomatic dentists showed an average pain intensity of 3.8. Mean scores of the PDQ total (11.46) and its dimensions – functional condition (7.1) and psychosocial condition (4.4) – suggest a moderate disability in the dental surgeons. There was a strong t correlation (r = 0.697) between pain intensity and the total score of disability caused by pain. Conclusions Pain and work-related musculoskeletal disorders interfere significantly with the dentists’ lives. In the case of dental surgeons there is a significant correlation between pain intensity and disability. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(3):367–377

Aims. The aim of the study was to assess the occurrence and intensity of musculoskeletal pain as a risk factor for reduced work ability. Methods. In total, 1449 workers participated in the study, 64% were younger workers (<45 years old, M 31.4); 36% were ageing workers (≥45 years old, M 50.3), Their health condition was established on the basis of (a) subjective feeling of health on a 5-point scale, (b) pain in 6 parts of the body in the past year; and (c) intensity of pain on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS). Work ability was assessed with the subjective work ability index (WAI). Results. The results of the study showed that although in the both groups, i.e., younger and ageing workers, the occurrence and intensity of pain in the hands/wrists, neck and lower back were a significant factor which decreased WAI, in ageing workers only the occurrence of pain in the lower back generated higher risk factors for reduced work ability (WAI < 37). Conclusions. Improving physical and psychosocial working conditions to reduce musculoskeletal complaints, and identifying individuals with such complaints are important in increasing workers’ work ability and thus extending their occupational activity.

Opis:
Occupational tasks of linemen are highly associated with the development of work related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMDs). Although linemen are prone to develop WRMDs, there is paucity of information on the prevalence of WRMDs and related occupational causative factors. Therefore, the present review was conducted to report on the prevalence of WRMDs and to outline causative risk factors within occupational tasks in the lineman profession. Literature search was conducted in various databases such as Scopus, PubMed and ScienceDirect for articles published between 1996–2013. The articles were analyzed, selected and retrieved based on predetermined objectives, inclusion criteria and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). In the review process only articles published in English were considered. The review identified moderate to high prevalence of WRMDs among the linemen population. Back and shoulder regions were highly affected compared to the other body regions. The review also reported occupational tasks such as bar installation, insulator fixation and manual handling of tools as high risk tasks that lead to the development of WRMDs. In addition, occupational tools such as ladders, manual cutters and manual presses were also identified as a potential ergonomic hazard. In conclusion, the current review identified that WRMDs are common in the back and shoulder regions among linemen. Also, a number of occupational risk factors were identified to be associated with WRMDs among the linemen. Hence, future research on prevention and intervention studies concerning lineman profession population in order to develop a good job practice are recommended.

Opis:
The organization of space and working conditions is very important in terms of its effectiveness. Each professional work determines activities that support occupational safety and health at the workplace. Lack of proper working conditions but also the time of exposure to dangerous, burdensome or harmful factors has an impact on the effectiveness of the work performed. Lack of balance between work and leisure in turn results in a decrease in work efficiency. The scientific and didactic work of academic teachers is related to the occurrence of diversified occupational hazards with particular emphasis on those that are the cause of musculoskeletal disorders. In this elaboration, the research, analysis and evaluation of the work effectiveness of academic teachers have been carried out. A questionnaire and a direct interview have been used as a research method. In addition, the pain intensity in individual parts of the body has been assessed in the last 12 months depending on the age of research and teaching staff using the NMQ questionnaire (Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire). For the purposes of the study, the survey was supplemented with the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) scale to assess the severity of pain. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the frequency and severity of musculoskeletal pain in academic teachers with regard to the effectiveness of their work.

Opis:
Wstęp: Środowisko medyczne dostrzega rolę aktywności fizycznej (AF) w profilaktyce i leczeniu chorób cywilizacyjnych. Mimo jednak bogatej i dobrze udokumentowanej wiedzy o zdrowotnych aspektach AF pilną potrzebą jest diagnoza i ocena poziomu AF w różnych grupach społecznych i zawodowych. Głównym celem pracy jest wstępna ocena domniemanego związku rekreacyjnej aktywności fizycznej z występowaniem typowych dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych u pielęgniarek. Materiał i metody: Badaniami objęto 93 pielęgniarki w wieku 41,4±7,31 lat, o wysokości ciała - 164,4±7,04 cm i masie ciała - 64,5±10,8 kg. Do oceny dolegliwości bólowych w różnych częściach narządu ruchu wykorzystano kwestionariusz „Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire" (NMQ). Do oceny poziomu aktywności fizycznej zastosowano Międzynarodowy Kwestionariusz Aktywności Fizycznej w wersji długiej (IPAQ long). Do określenia zróżnicowania międzygrupowego ze względu na występowanie dolegliwości bólowych oraz poziom aktywności fizycznej zastosowano test U Manna-Whitneya oraz Kruskala-Wallisa. W ocenie znaczenia poszczególnych czynników potencjalnie wpływających na występowanie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych zastosowano analizę regresji logistycznej jednowymiarowej. Wyniki: Ponad 70% badanych zgłaszało dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowe. Najczęściej dotyczyły one dolnego odcinka kręgosłupa. U kobiet podejmujących co najmniej umiarkowaną aktywność fizyczną (moderate to vigorous physical activity - MVPA) dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowe występowały rzadziej. Wnioski: Prawdopodobnie rekreacyjna aktywność fizyczna o prozdrowotnych parametrach może stanowić skuteczną formę profilaktyki dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych, zwłaszcza u pielęgniarek. Hipoteza ta wymaga jednak weryfikacji w toku eksperymentalnych badań z wykorzystaniem m.in. obiektywnych narzędzi oceny aktywności fizycznej. Med. Pr. 2014;65(2):181–188
Background: The role of physical activity (PA) in the prevention and treatment of civilization diseases has been recognized by the medical society. Despite extensive knowledge and well-documented evidence of health aspects of PA, the identification and assessment of the PA level in various social and professional groups are still needed. The main goal of this research was to work out a preliminary assessment of possible relationship between recreational physical activity and reduced common musculoskeletal disorders in nurses. Material and Methods: The study included 93 nurses, aged 41.4±7.31, with body height of 164.4±7.04 and body weight of 64.5±10.8. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was applied to assess pain and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (long version) to assess the level of physical activity. The intergroup differences, due to the occurrence of pain and physical activity levels, were determined using the Mann Whitney test and the Kruskal Wallis test. To evaluate the significance of individual factors potentially influencing the onset of musculoskeletal pains, the Chi² test for independence was performed. Results: Over 70% of the examined nurses reported musculoskeletal complaints, mostly related with lower back pain. Taking up recreational activity, of at least moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusion: It is most likely that recreational physical activity at appropriate parameters may prevent musculoskeletal disorders, especially in nurses with long work experience. However, this hypothesis needs to be verified by experimental studies with use of objective tools for the assessment of physical activity. Med Pr 2014;65(2):181–188

Opis:
Objectives: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) compose a large part of occupational diseases in dental professionals, prevention of which is dependent on assessment and improvement of job postures by means of ergonomic interventions. This study was aimed at evaluation of ergonomic conditions of the profession of dentists and also at assessing the relationship between MSDs and conditions of work. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed among 65 dentists using the method of Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). The prevalence of MSDs was obtained by the use of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). Results: In this investigation, the prevalence of MSDs for different body parts was: 75.9% for the neck, 58.6% for the shoulders, 56.9% for the upper back, 48.3% for the lower back and 44.8% for the wrist. Job analysis by the use of REBA showed that 89.6% of limbs in group A and 79.3% of limbs in group B had a score > 4. Only neck and lower back pain have significant relationship with the risk levels obtained using the REBA method. Conclusions: It can be concluded that work postures of dentists need to be improved. In addition to education, work station design, rest period during work and regular physical activities should be taken into account.

Opis:
The study was carried out to identify the prevalence and pattern of work related musculoskeletal disorders among blacksmiths in Kurmi market, Kano state. A total of 138 blacksmiths were recruited out of which only 133 were able to fill the questionnaire properly. Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentages, tables, and charts, using SPSS version 15. Result obtained showed that there is high prevalence of work related musculoskeletal disorders among the studied population (43.3%), in which shoulder region is the most frequent area of affectation in 39.6% of the total symptoms reported. The predominant risk factors were high repetitive motion (85.7%), prolonged sitting (95.5%), and greater number of working hours i.e 5-8 hours for most days in 34.6% of the total population. Among the entire study population (n=133); only 30 ever attended hospital to seek for medical attention against their symptoms/complaints, out of which only 15 were seen by a physiotherapist. Also 7 out of the total study population ever absent themselves from work secondary to their symptoms. It was concluded that there is a high prevalence of WMSDs among blacksmiths. The upper extremity region of the body is more affected than lower extremities. Increasing age, weight and working for long hours or days were major risk factors to developing WMSDs.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the hands and wrists of fishermen working as oyster shuckers, and to identify the risk factors associated with oyster shucking. Material and Methods A total of 590 fishery workers including those working as oyster shuckers in 2015–2017 were included in the study analysis. Hand osteoarthritis (OA), carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and ulnar impaction syndrome were diagnosed using X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, and physical examinations according to each diagnostic criterion. The Rapid Entire Body Assessment was used as a measurement tool for analyzing the occupation-related burden factors.ResultsThe prevalence of hand OA, CTS, and ulnar impaction syndrome was higher in oyster shuckers than in aquaculture/offshore fishery workers. The prevalence of upper limb disease was higher in oyster shuckers than in other fishery workers, even in the prevalence of exposure to occupational burden factors. In oyster shuckers, the incidence of hand and wrist OA was 84%, that of CTS was 72%, and that of ulnar impaction syndrome was 41%. In addition, oyster shuckers were more likely to be exposed to occupational burden factors than were other types of fishermen. Conclusions The prevalence of hand OA, CTS, and ulnar impaction syndrome was higher in oyster shuckers. Therefore, proper stretching or exercises for rest and musculoskeletal relaxation, along with health-care education and promotion, will be needed for the fishermen’s repeated posture and impact work.

Web-based surveys were sent to Canadian certified ergonomists, Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSCs) and health and safety certification trainers to understand better which ergonomics analysis tools were used in industry and help JHSCs obtain the necessary training required to reduce work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). The results showed that most of the certified ergonomists used the Snook/Mital tables, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) equation and rapid upper limb assessment (RULA)/rapid entire body assessment (REBA). The most frequently used methods by JHSCs to identify ergonomics risk were injury reports and worker complaints. The surveys for the health and safety certification trainers revealed that most curricula did not include ergonomics analysis tools. There appears to be a gap between what is recommended by certified ergonomists for JHSC, what is taught in training and what is used by JHSCs for ergonomics risk analysis. A better understanding, modifications in training curricula and education of JHSCs are needed to help reduce WMSDs.

Background. Assessment of the level of exposure to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) risk factors can be an appropriate basis for planning and implementing an interventional ergonomics program in the workplace. This study was conducted among workers of an Iranian sugar-producing factory to determine WMSD prevalence rate among production workers and to assess the level of exposure to WMSD risks. Materials and methods. In total, 116 workers were randomly selected from production workshops and included in the study. The Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire was used to study prevalence of WMSDs and a quick exposure check (QEC) was used to assess physical exposure to risks. Required data were videotaped. Results. Most workers (87.1%) suffered from some kind of MSD symptoms during the 12 months prior to the study. The highest prevalence was reported in knees (58.6%) and the lower back (54.3%). In 99.1% of the workers, the level exposure to MSD risks established with QEC was high and very high. Awkward postures, manual material handling, and long hours of standing were the major ergonomics problems. Conclusion. There was a here was a high rate of WMSDs in this factory. The level of exposure to WMSD risk factors was high and corrective measures for reducing risk level were essential.

Video-based sampling was used to record and analyze the frequency and posture of on-pole activities. Those key subtasks showed ergonomics characteristics of on-pole fixing tasks. Insulator-fixing was the longest subtask (33% of total working time). Bar-installing was the second longest (26% of total working time). It was evident that bar-installing and insulator-fixing were full of hazardous risks. The action categories of the 2 subtasks were higher than of the other ones. The 2 subtasks were also time-consuming, difficult and induced MSDs. Assistant linemen faced more hazardous factors than chief linemen.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) in nurses, and to explore the association of work style and physical exercise with WMSD in this professional group. Material and Methods In this study, a cross-sectional survey design was applied. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 692 nurses in 5 municipal hospitals, in the period August–October 2015. The survey included personal information, lifestyle, physical exercise and symptoms of WMSD. Chi² test and logistic regression were used to identify the risk factors of WMSD. Results The prevalence of WMSD was 84% in all parts of the body in the previous year, with the highest prevalence in the neck (68.2%), followed by waist (67.6%) and shoulder (54.6%). Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that physical exercise, night shifts and staying up late were associated with WMSD in nurses. The lack of exercise, night shifts and a tendency to stay up significantly increased the risk of WMSD (p < 0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among the municipal hospital nursing staff is high. An elevated risk of WMSD is observed in nurses who do not do exercises, work shifts and stay up late. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(1):15–24

W artykule zaprezentowano zagadnienia związane z rozwojem dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych (MSDs). Przedstawiono przyczyny rozwoju MSDs, model ich rozwoju uwzględniający ekspozycje, czyi i obciążenie uwarunkowane stanowiskiem pracy; dawkę czyli obciążenia na poziomie struktur wewnętrznych, pojemność odpowiadającą możliwościom fizycznym pracownika oraz odpowiedź, która jest bezpośrednim elementem modelu, od którego zależy rozwój dolegliwości. Przedstawiono wybrane dane prezentujące MSDs u pracowników UE (27) w różnych grupach wiekowych, wartości siły prostowania kolana w populacji osób starszych, a także zmiany w wartościach maksymalnej siły prostowania kolana, jakie objawiają się pod wpływem treningu siłowego. Jako podsumowanie przedstawiono stwierdzenie, iż przeciwdziałanie zmianom funkcjonalnym w układzie mięśniowo-szkieletowym zachodzącym wraz z wiekiem może odbywać się przez dostosowanie stanowisk pracy do możliwości osób starszych, a także za pomocą realizacji programów rehabilitacji osób starszych i z niepełnosprawnościami.
The article presents the issues related to the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). It presents factors laying behind the MSDs development and the model of its development The model takes into account exposure, i.e the load conditioned on workstand; dose, which is the level of the load on the internal structures; capacity corresponding to the physical capabilities of the employee and the response; which is a direct feature of the model that determines the development of the disease. The paper presents selected data showing MSDs among workers of the EU (27) in different age groups, the knee extension strength in the elderly population and changes in the values of the maximum strength of the knee, which manifest themselves under the influence of physical training. As a summary is presented a statement that counteraction of functional changes in the musculoskeletal system that occurs with age can be done by adjusting the job to the possibility of the elderly, as well as through the implementation of programs of rehabilitation of the elderly and people with disabilities.

It also presented preliminary findings from field observations of housework and fulltime homemakers in urban settings. PubMed, Ergonomics Abstracts, Sociofile, and PsycINFO databases were used in the literature search. The review focused on comparing demands of housework and paid work. Also, exposure factors found in studies of various occupations were compared with the results of field observations of housework in 4 homes in Beirut, Lebanon. Few studies systematically examined associations between MSDs and risk factors in housework. Some well-known risk factors for MSDs were identified in the Beirut homes; however, other unique factors were noted. Housework activities expose homemakers to known risk factors for MSDs, which calls for further studies to identify appropriate intervention and prevention strategies.

Opis:
Excessive demands on nurses may result in high rates of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study was conducted among hospital nurses of Iran’s Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) to determine the prevalence of MSDs and to examine the relationship between perceived demands and reported MSDs. In this study, 641 randomly selected nurses from 12 SUMS hospitals participated. The Nordic musculoskeletal disorders questionnaire and Job Content Questionnaire were used as collecting data tools.The results showed that 84.4% of the participants had experienced some form of symptoms of MSDs during the past 12 months. Lower back symptoms were found to be the most prevalent problem. Perceived physical demands were significantly associated with MSDs (OR = 1.5–2.7). No association was found between perceived psychological demands and reported symptoms. It was concluded that any intervention program for preventing MSDs among SUMS hospital nurses had to focus on reducing physical demands, particularly excessive postural demands.

Self-report measures of musculoskeletal discomfort are a widely used and generally accepted risk factor for musculoskeletal disorders in epidemiologic research. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in packing workers. A cross-sectional study of 75 workers was carried out using a modified Nordic questionnaire. Prevalence was determined with the percentage of positive responses to questions on musculoskeletal symptoms. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were the measures of association between prevalent musculoskeletal symptoms and demographic factors; they were determined with logistic regression. Most musculoskeletal symptoms in workers were from the low back (44.0%), shoulders (33.3%) and neck (32.0%). Years worked were strongly significantly associated with musculoskeletal symptoms and pain in the neck, shoulders and wrists/hands, P < .001–.050. Hazards related to repetitive movements and discomfort postures could be reduced with stretching exercises, rotation schedules and through new engineering solutions.

Introduction and objective. The palm quality selection process has risks of problems in ergonomics. The aim of this research is to study the factors related to musculoskeletal disorders in quality control palm workers at palm purchasing establishments in Sichon District, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand. Materials and method. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 50 workers with musculoskeletal disorders, as assessed by the Bureau of Occupational and Environmental Disease, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand. Ergonomic risk assessment was performed using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), and the data studied with the help of descriptive statistics and chi-square analyses. All data were analyzed using SPSS version 19. Results. The sample included 96% of males with an average age of 34.2 years (SD=11.09). The participants used pickup trucks to transport palm oil from the plantation. 72% of the workers had worked at the plantation for 4.9±4.9 years; 54% did not work overtime. The average amount of palm oil collection for palm quality control was 23.5±11.3 tons/day. Quality control palm workers using sidecars (28%) were found to be moderately at risk, and those using trucks (72%) were at a high level of risk. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders after one year at work was 78%. The amount of palm oil controlled per day, working overtime, car type used for transport, and ergonomics risk level, were significantly related to musculoskeletal disorders in quality control palm workers (p-value <0.05). Conclusions. The results indicate a need for the top management and health-related personnel to promote occupational health and safety measures for quality control palm workers.

Objective. This study assessed the association between worker characteristics, workplace factors, and workrelated musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in Nigeria’s construction industry. Methods. A cross-sectional site-by-site survey was conducted in 5 existing construction companies in Uyo, Nigeria. The subjects (n = 1200 males), aged 18–55 years, filled in the semistructured Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire and the job content questionnaire on demographics, work and lifestyle characteristics, and workplace risk factors for WMSDs. Results. The overall prevalence of WMSDs was 39.25%. Differences in age, race, weight, body mass index (BMI), education status, and employment status were significantly associated with the prevalence of WMSDs. Prevalence according to trade was as follows: ironworkers highest at 49% and administrative staff lowest at 31%. Ironworkers (55.7%), administrative staff (53.3%), and security staff (38.7%) scored higher on physical, psychosocial, and individual risk factors, respectively. Workplace factors with increased odds for WMSDs were psychological demands and mental workload, age, BMI, low work experience, low education status, awkward movement of head and arms, working against force or vibration, fast work pace, and race. Conclusion. The recorded high prevalence was multifactorial in etiology; hence, multi-intervention strategies are required.

Opis:
Four hundred million adults are obese. Such a pandemic involves people of working age. Excess weight imposes abnormal mechanics on body movements, which could account for the high incidence of musculoskeletal disorders in these subjects. This article reviews the physiological and biomechanical causes of the reduced work capacity in obese workers and speculates on the relationships between occupational exposure and obesity. The reduction in work capacity appears to be due to the following factors: reduced spine flexibility, decay in endurance, limited range of movement of the major joints, reduced muscle strength and capacity to hold prolonged fixed postures, impaired respiratory capacity and visual control. Work capacity in morbidly obese workers should always be evaluated to match specific job demands. Due to the relationship between obesity, musculoskeletal disorders, disability and health costs, prevention of obesity and ergonomic interventions on-site are a priority in the work place.

Introduction. Researchers indicate an important relationship between the level of job satisfaction and the state of health of the employees. Some elements of work related with its character, organization, and interpersonal relationships may evoke strong stress, manifested by, among others, an increased musculoskeletal tension which, in turn, may lead to permanent dysfunction of this system. Objective. The objective of the study was analysis of the relationship between the level of job satisfaction and occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders among employees of the State Forests. Materials and method. The research material was collected using two instruments: the modified Nordic Questionnaire for assessment of musculoskeletal disorders, and a questionnaire concerning job satisfaction. The study was conducted in a group of 396 employees of the State Forests from 8 regions of Poland. Results. The results of analysis confirmed a significant relationship between job satisfaction and the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders. The lower the level of job satisfaction, the more frequent the experiencing of musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusion. Low level of job satisfaction is a risk factor for the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders. Shaping of work conditions, which are the source of job satisfaction, should be considered as one of the main elements of prevention of musculoskeletal complaints.

Opis:
Musculoskeletal disorders lead to pain and suffering and result in high costs to industry. There is evidence to suggest that whereas conventional ergonomics training programs result in knowledge gains, they may not necessarily translate to changes in behavior. There were 11 participants in an ergonomics training program, and a subsample of participants received a motivational intervention in the form of incentives for correct workstation setup. Training did not yield any changes in ergonomics measures for any participant. Incentives resulted in marked and durable changes in targeted workstation measures. The data suggest that improving worker knowledge about ergonomically correct workstation setup does not necessarily lead to correct workstation setup, and that motivational interventions may be needed to achieve lasting behavior change.

Opis:
Background Epidemiological studies have shown that employees working with visual display units (VDU) are more likely to complain about musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The aim of this study has been to evaluate associations among MSDs and individuals and work-related factors. Material and Methods A total of 1032 VDU workers were assessed about their personal (i.e., age, working history, smoking history, physical activity) and work-related factors (i.e., predominant job tasks performed, work posture). Work environment was evaluated regarding fulfillment of the standard ISO 9241-5:1998. The investigation required a direct observation of participants (in order to accurately assess the prevalence of MSDs) and workstations. Adjusted odds ratios (ORa) were calculated by means of the logistic regression model. Results Prevalence of MSDs was relatively high (53%). In general, MSDs were significantly associated with female sex (OR = 2.832, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.178–3.683), age ≥ 50 years old (OR = 2.231, 95% CI: 1.236–4.026), longer exposure to VDU, both as working history (10–14 years: OR = 1.934, 95% CI: 1.301–2.875; ≥ 15 years: OR = 2.223, 95% CI: 1.510–3.271) and working time (30–39 h/week: OR = 1.537, 95% CI: 1.087–2.273). Inappropriate workstation design was confirmed by the multivariate analysis as a risk factor for MSDs (ORa = 2.375, 95% CI: 1.124–5.018). Conclusions Musculoskeletal disorders were significantly associated with individual factors as well as characteristics of work environment. An appropriate design of workstations may significantly reduce their prevalence amongst VDU workers. Med Pr 2016;67(6):707–719
Wstęp Badania epidemiologiczne wykazały, że osoby pracujące przy monitorach ekranowych (visual display units – VDU) częściej skarżą się na zaburzenia mięśniowo-szkieletowe (musculoskeletal disorders – MSDs). Celem badania była ocena związku między MSDs a cechami indywidualnymi pracowników i czynnikami związanymi z pracą. Materiał i metody Badanie przeprowadzono wśród 1032 osób używających VDU w pracy. Zebrano dane dotyczące cech indywidualnych badanych (wiek, staż pracy, historia palenia, aktywność fizyczna) i czynników związanych z wykonywaną pracą (najczęstsze czynności, pozycja ciała). Oceniono też zgodność środowiska pracy z normą ISO 9241-5:1998. W celu dokładnej analizy występowania MSDs przeprowadzono bezpośrednią obserwację osób badanych i ich stanowisk pracy. Skorygowane ilorazy szans (adjusted odds ratios – ORa) obliczono z zastosowaniem modelu regresji logistycznej. Wyniki Częstość występowania MSDs była stosunkowo wysoka (53%). Zaobserwowano statystycznie istotną zależność między MSDs a płcią żeńską (OR = 2,832, 95% przedział ufności (confidence interval – CI): 2,178–3,683), wiekiem powyżej 50 lat (OR = 2,231, 95% CI: 1,236–4,026) i dłuższym narażeniem na VDU – zarówno w wyniku dłuższego stażu pracy (10–14 lat: OR = 1,934, 95% CI: 1,301–2,875; ≥ 15 lat: OR = 2,223, 95% CI: 1,510–3,271), jak i większego wymiaru czasu pracy (30–39 godz./tydzień: OR = 1,537, 95% CI: 1,087–2,273). Analiza wieloczynnikowa potwierdziła, że nieodpowiednio zorganizowane stanowisko pracy jest czynnikiem ryzyka MSDs (ORa = 2,375, 95% CI: 1,124–5,018). Wnioski Występowanie zaburzeń mięśniowo-szkieletowych jest istotnie związane z indywidualnymi cechami pracownika i właściwościami środowiska pracy. Odpowiednio zorganizowane stanowiska pracy mogą znacznie zmniejszyć częstość występowania MSDs u osób pracujących przy VDU. Med. Pr. 2016;67(6):707–719

Opis:
Physical therapists engage in work tasks that expose them to occupational risk factors related to musculoskeletal disorders. Due to the gap in the literature on instruments focused on those workers, this study adapted a job factors questionnaire to physical therapists, and assessed its psychometric properties. The questionnaire was adapted and its content validity was established. The psychometric properties were evaluated among 142 physical therapists. Reliability was verified using the temporal-stability design and internal consistency. Construct validity was assessed with the known-groups technique. Test–retest results demonstrated intraclass correlation coefficients between .82 and .90 (p < .001). Cronbach’s α of .91 verified the reliability of the questionnaire. The known-groups technique demonstrated a statistically significant difference on the scores of the items when physical therapists were compared to office workers. The results indicated that the adapted questionnaire had acceptable psychometric properties for assessing problematic job factors among physical therapists working in hospitals.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczących częstości występowania oraz nasilenia dolegliwości bólowych ze strony układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego u pracowników zatrudnionych w budownictwie. Badania kwestionariuszowe przeprowadzono metodą sondażu diagnostycznego. W badaniach wzięło udział 600 mężczyzn w wieku 20-65 lat (34,9±13,7) zatrudnionych w budownictwie. Ocena dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych została przeprowadzona przy pomocy kwestionariusza NMQ (Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire) uzupełnionego o skalę VAS. Najczęściej zgłaszanymi dolegliwościami układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego były: bóle kręgosłupa w odcinku lędźwiowo-krzyżowym i szyjnym kręgosłupa, stawów ramiennych oraz odcinka piersiowego kręgosłupa. Istotnie statystycznie częściej na występowanie tych dolegliwości uskarżali się pracownicy 50+ w porównaniu z pracownikami młodymi (p<0:05).

Opis:
An ergonomic assessment of the involvement of static muscular forces like back strength, grip strength and pinch strength in different occupations was made. A study was conducted on 45 normal adult males (15 subjects per group) which included video display terminal (VDT) operators, industrial workers and safety inspectors. Their maximum back strength, handgrip strength and pinch strength were measured with dynamometers. The observed values of back strength were significantly lower in VDT operators while significantly higher in safety inspectors and moderate in industrial workers. The values of grip strength and pinch strength of all sample groups were more or less similar. The findings clearly indicate that static muscular strength varies significantly in different occupations. Heavy static muscular load might lead to an accumulation of metabolic waste and toxins on the back resulting in lower back strength in VDT operators and industrial workers.

Opis:
ObjectivesThe character of upper limb disorders in computer operators is subject to debate. While nerve involvement is suggested by the presenceof pain, paresthesia and subjective weakness, these symptoms are mainly interpreted as related to pathologies outside the nervous system. Findings in a previous study involving computer operators indicated peripheral nerve afflictions with specific locations in symptomatic subjects. Based on the same sample, this study addresses the relation of non-neurogenic findings to pain and neurological findings.Material and MethodsOverall, 96 computer operators scored their perceived pain in the neck, shoulder, elbow, and wrist/hand on a Visual Analogue Scale of 0–9. They underwent 2 sets of blinded physical examinations of selected non-neurogenic and neurological items, respectively. The authors analyzed correlations between the scores of each non-neuropathic finding, and a) mean pain scores for each and all regions, and b) scores for neurological patterns reflecting brachial plexopathy, median neuropathy (the elbow), and posterior interosseous neuropathy, respectively, and their combination. Kendall’s rank correlation test was applied for all statistical analyses.ResultsA median pain level of 1 or 0.5 was reported by 80 and 57 participants on the mouse-operating or contralateral side, respectively. Non-neurogenic and neurological findings were frequent. The mean overall pain correlated with palpation soreness of the neck insertions, and of the trapezius and supraspinatus muscles. Neck and elbow pain correlated with palpation soreness at the neck insertions and the lateral epicondyles, respectively. Significant correlations on the mouse-operating side were identified between posterior interosseous neuropathy and lateral epicondyle soreness, and between median neuropathy and any neurological pattern, and trapezius and lateral epicondyle soreness. Conclusions Pain correlated with palpation soreness, which again correlated with the neurological patterns. Palpation soreness may be less significant as a marker of a painful disorder as it correlated no better with regional than with overall pain. The physical examination of computer operators should include a sufficient neurological assessment.

The main objective of the article was to determine the commonness of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) and other disorders among boys and girls aged 7-18 who study in Lubuskie Province. The results of conducted research let determine the commonness of MSDs in the studied population, assess the frequency of increases and decreases of reporting pain during a school day as well as estimate the size of cross-gender differences. In both sexes headaches and soared eyes are predominant among the evaluated symptoms; whereas among the ailments of musculoskeletal system the following problems are most common: lumbar-sacral spine pain, pain in the neck, shoulder pain, pain in the arms and thoracic part of the spine. The frequency of ailments increases with age and in majority of cases it is higher in the afternoon than in the morning. Girls of all ages report headache and abdominal pain more often than boys. With age the number of body parts the girls report as symptoms associated with pain increases and the phenomenon occurs during the last lesson. Girls not only more often complain of discomfort, but also fell the pain of higher intensity.
Głównym celem pracy było określenie powszechności występowania dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych i innych wśród chłopców i dziewcząt w wieku 7-18 lat uczących się w szkołach województwa lubuskiego. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań pozwoliły określić powszechność MSDs w badanej populacji, ocenić przyrosty i spadki częstości zgłaszania bólu w ciągu dnia nauki szkolnej oraz oszacować wielkość różnic międzypłciowych.. Pośród ocenianych dolegliwości u obu płci dominują bóle głowy i oczu, natomiast pośród dolegliwości układu ruchu, bóle odcinka lędźwiowo-krzyżowego kręgosłupa, karku, barków, ramion oraz piersiowej części kręgosłupa. Częstość dolegliwości zwiększa się wraz z wiekiem i w zdecydowanej większości przypadków jest większa po południu niż rano. Dziewczęta w każdym wieku częściej niż chłopcy zgłaszają ból głowy i brzucha. Na ostatniej lekcji wraz z wiekiem zwiększa się liczba regionów ciała, na których dolegliwości częściej uskarża się płeć żeńska. Dziewczęta nie tylko częściej uskarżają się na dolegliwości, ale też odczuwają ból o większym natężeniu

BackgroundPhysical therapists are known to be susceptible to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), but the prevalence of WMSDs in Saudi Arabia has not been documented. This study aimed to establish the prevalence, characteristics, and risk factors of WMSDs among physical therapists in Saudi Arabia.Material and MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 113 physical therapists in Saudi Arabia using a 6-component questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, incidence, percentages, and χ2 test were used for data analysis.ResultsThe response rate was 68.8%. The reported 12-month incidence of WMSDs was 83.8%. The low back (63.7%) was the most common site of these disorders, followed by the neck (59.2%), while the hip/thigh (4.4%) was the least involved body part. Incidence was related to gender: females were more affected than males (neck, shoulders, low back); age: younger therapists were more affected than older ones (shoulders, low back); working sector: government sector workers were more affected than those employed in other sectors (neck); and specialty: orthopedic specialists were the most frequently affected, followed by those specializing in neurology (thumbs, upper back, knees, ankle/foot). Most of the physical therapists had >5 periods of neck, shoulder, and low-back WMSDs. The most important risk factor for WMSDs was treating more patients in a day (47.7%). The most frequently adopted handling strategy identified to combat WMSDS was modifying the patient’s position (62.8%).ConclusionsOverall, WMSDs among physical therapists in Saudi Arabia are common, with the low back and the neck constituting the most frequently affected body regions. Professional experience and the awareness of ergonomics principles can help prevent the early development of WMSDs among physical therapists. Med Pr. 2021;72(4):363–73

Opis:
Działalność zawodowa wiąże się z wieloma zagrożeniami dla pracowników. Jednym z głównych jest nadmierne obciążenie fizyczne skutkujące schorzeniami ścięgien, mięśni i więzadeł. Skutkiem niewłaściwego obciążenia fizycznego jest powstawanie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych (Bujalska, Żołnierczyk-Zreda, 2011). Malarz pomieszczeń to jedna z grup zawodów należących do sekcji budownictwa, zajmująca się pracami wykończeniowymi związanymi z malowaniem ścian pomieszczeń. Ze względu na nienaturalne pozycje ciała przyjmowane przez malarza podczas wykonywania pracy, a także czas ich utrzymywania jest to grupa zawodów szczególnie narażona na schorzenia narządu ruchu. Ważnym zatem jest przeprowadzenie oceny ryzyka rozwoju dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych związanych z wykonywaną pracą. W poniższym artykule dokonano tego za pomocą metod: RULA oraz REBA.
Each of the above-described methods is used to evaluate diseases of musculoskeletal system. However, in conjunction with different purposes of methods, the above-described embodiment in this article it can be concluded that the findings carried out by any of the methods can be different. These differences are small. After testing, it can be seen that the findings carried out by various methods are classified in very similar terms – a high level of risk. Therefore it is assumed that, each of these methods are only providing guidance to actions measures to reduce the risks of formation of musculoskeletal disorders. Decisions related to making changes in construction jobs or the entire work process should be taken based on accurate ergonomic research.

Opis:
Artykuł przedstawia dane dotyczące zakresu narażenia różnych grup pracowników w krajach Unii Europejskiej na powstawanie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych. Największe narażenie na większość czynników ryzyka występuje w rolnictwie, rybołówstwie, budownictwie oraz hotelarstwie. Największy odsetek pracowników narażony jest na wykonywanie powtarzalnych ruchów ramion i rąk, utrzymywanie niewygodnych pozycji ciała, wykonywanie pracy monotypowej oraz ponoszenie ciężkich przedmiotów. Mężczyźni w większym stopniu niż kobiety są narażeni na ekspozycję na męczące lub powodujące dolegliwości pozycje ciała oraz podnoszenie i przenoszenie ładunków.
This paper presents data on exposure to risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders in various worker populations in European Union states. The highest exposure to most risk factors is present in agriculture, fishing, construction and hotels. Most workers are exposed to repetitive hand or arm movements, tiring or painful postures, monotonous work and handling heavy loads. Men, to a higher degree than women, are exposed to tiring or painful postures and handling heavy loads.

Opis:
Street cleaning is an integral part of the solid waste management system. There are different ways to achieve clean streets depending on the availability of equipment, the type and magnitude of dirt, the surface conditions encountered or traffic conditions. In general, hand sweeping by an individual worker or a group, hose flushing, or machine sweeping or flushing are applied. In order to obtain information about the occurrence and relevance of occupational health hazards of street cleaners, the current international literature, as well as corresponding German regulations, were reviewed and evaluated. Street cleaning includes a variety of health hazards for employees. These can be subdivided into effects of occupational tasks and effects of working conditions such as weather or road traffic. The hazards result from physical, chemical and biological exposures, but may also be due to physiological and psychological burden or inadequate safety aspects. The most commonly reported work-related complaints are musculoskeletal and respiratory disorders, cuts, slips, and road traffic accidents. In developing countries, street cleaners seem to be still heavily exposed to dust and, in most cases, no suitable protective measures are available. Especially in industrialized countries there exist a number of standards and recommendations for waste workers that aim to reduce their occupational health impacts.

Objectives Shoulder pain associated with upper limb musculoskeletal disorders is an important health problem in clinical practice due to its high prevalence, frequent consultations in primary healthcare and occupational health. Preventive strategies, including information disseminated among workers, can be useful. The aim of this study is to analyze the associations between non-traumatic osteomuscular diseases of the shoulder and the workers’ knowledge of the risks at the workplace and preventive measures developed there, as well as the association with ergonomic requirements. Material and Methods An observational case-control study was carried out on an occupationally active population assisted during 1 year in 1 healthcare center, involving 690 participants. Data were collected through a questionnaire including sociodemographic variables, the workplace, the knowledge of prevention and ergonomic requirements. The independent effect of the variables associated with non-traumatic shoulder pathology was explored through logistic regression. Results In total, 66.7% of the participants stated that they had been informed of the occupational hazards related to their jobs. The following variables were associated with a lower probability of shoulder injuries: male gender, working hours > 9 h/day or > 40 h/week, as well as having information on the risks associated with the workplace, using personal protective equipment, the existence of an occupational risks prevention service and/or risk assessment, the knowledge of the prevention plan, periodic medical examinations, and using one arm or physical force at work. A multivariate analysis revealed that the risk increased with age and lower educational levels, forced postures, repeated gestures, monotony and temporary absences from work. Furthermore, being informed of workplace risks, and using a single arm as well as physical force were shown as independent protective factors. Conclusions Information on both the ergonomic requirements and how to prevent occupational risks is a useful tool for the prevention of non-traumatic shoulder diseases. Preventive policies including health education interventions in the workplace could benefit other developed preventive activities. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(6):825–40

WstępJazda na motocyklu wiąże się z ryzykiem wystąpienia dolegliwości ze strony układu ruchu, które mogą być spowodowane m.in. długotrwałym utrzymywaniem niekorzystnej pozycji ciała, wibracjami lub koniecznością noszenia kasku ochronnego. Jedną z grup zawodowych użytkujących motocykle podczas służby są policjanci ruchu drogowego. Niewiele badań zostało poświęconych dolegliwościom związanym z jazdą na motocyklu, zwłaszcza dotyczącym policjantów pełniących służbę na tych pojazdach. Głównym celem niniejszej pracy było zbadanie, czy wśród funkcjonariuszy polskiej Policji pełniących służbę na motocyklach występują, w czasie jazdy lub po jej zakończeniu, dolegliwości ze strony układu ruchu. Sprawdzono czynniki, jakie mogą wpływać na występowanie, oraz charakterystykę tych dolegliwości.Materiał i metodyW badaniu posłużono się złożoną z 42 pytań ankietą przygotowaną przez autorów badania. Po uzyskaniu zgody Komendanta Głównego Policji 485 ankiet wysłano do wybranych komend. Do analizy statystycznej zaakceptowano 377 ankiet.WynikiU 57,37% badanych funkcjonariuszy stwierdzono występowanie związanych z jazdą na motocyklu dolegliwości ze strony układu ruchu, które najczęściej pojawiały się po dłuższym czasie od rozpoczęcia jazdy (53,46%) i zwykle ustępowały w ciągu kilku godzin od jej zakończenia (60,65%). Najczęściej występowały w okolicy odcinka lędźwiowo- krzyżowego (76,17%) i szyjnego kręgosłupa (50,93%). Największe ich nasilenie dotyczyło kręgosłupa lędźwiowo-krzyżowego (5,86%) oraz stawów kolanowych (5,11%). Stwierdzono także związek między występowaniem dolegliwości a liczbą lat służby na motocyklu (p = 0,014), średnim dystansem pokonywanym w ciągu miesiąca (p = 0,036) oraz przebytymi wypadkami motocyklowymi (p = 0,001) lub innymi (p = 0,002).WnioskiFunkcjonariusze polskiej Policji pełniący służbę na motocyklach odczuwają związane z nią dolegliwości ze strony narządu ruchu. Czynnikami wpływającymi na ich występowanie są doświadczenie w prowadzeniu motocykla, średnia odległość pokonywana w ciągu miesiąca oraz przebyte wypadki.
BackgroundRiding a motorcycle involves a risk of suffering from ailments of the musculoskeletal system. These can be caused, i.a., by long-term persistence of a unfavorable body position, vibrations or the necessity of wearing a protective helmet. One of the occupational groups that use motorcycles are road traffic police officers. There are few literature reports of ailments related to riding a motorcycle, especially as regards police officers using these vehicles while on duty. The key objective of this research was to investigate the occurrence of locomotor system disorders during a motorcycle ride or after it, among Polish police officers who actively ride motorcycles. Factors which can affect the occurrence and characteristics of those disorders were also verified.Material and MethodsA survey including 42 questions was used in the research. After obtaining the consent from the Police Commander-in-Chief, 485 questionnaires were distributed to selected Provincial Police Headquarters, 377 of which were eventually approved for statistical analysis.ResultsIn 57.37% of the investigated police officers who regularly rode motorcycles while on duty, ailments of the locomotor system were reported, which most often appeared after a long ride (53.46%), and usually disappeared within a few hours after its end (60.65%). The ailments were found to mostly occur in the lumbosacral (76.17%) and cervical spine (50.93%); however, the highest intensity was observed in the lumbosacral spine (5.86%) and knee joints (5.11%). Also, there was a direct connection between pain and years of service on a motorcycle (p = 0.014), the average monthly distance (p = 0.036), and past motorcycle accidents (p = 0.001), or other accidents (p = 0.002).ConclusionsThe Polish police officers experience locomotor system disorders related to riding a motorcycle while on duty. The factors affecting their occurrence include experience in riding a motorcycle, the monthly distance covered, and accidents.

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential association between occupational stress and musculoskeletal symptoms in firefighters. Material and Methods Data were collected among Cypriot firefighters through a battery of adapted questionnaires completed anonymously. Results A total of 430 firefighters (a response rate of 68%) completed the survey (the age range: 21–60 years). A total of 11% of firefighters reported moderate to extremely severe stress through the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale. A total of 40% of firefighters reported musculoskeletal symptoms, the most frequent being back pain. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models showed that occupational stress was associated with a 50% higher risk of musculoskeletal symptoms in firefighters after adjusting for age, smoking and obesity (OR = 1.52, p = 0.04). In addition, a positive dose-response relationship was found between occupational stress and musculoskeletal symptoms. Conclusions Occupational stress constitutes a significant risk for firefighters and is associated with higher prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms at work.

Introduction. Dentists and hygienists are strongly affected by musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). As workstation concepts are supported by subjective arguments only, the aim of this study was to use objective measurements to compare the variability of strain in various concepts: a dental chair equipped with a cart or an over-the-patient delivery system without an assistant, and Dr Daryl Beach’s concept with an assistant. Methods. Goniometric and electromyographic recordings were made on 8 subjects, during a scaling operation. The electrical activity of their trapezius and lumbar muscles was compared, as were their cervical and lumbar ranges of motion. Results. The results showed that there was a wide variability depending on the workstation. However, the Beach concept tended to reduce physical strain on most parameters: duration of left lumbar muscle activity (2% compared to 15% of time spent in >10% maximal voluntary contraction, MVC), time spent in cervical side bending (4% compared to 30%), cervical flexion of >20° (9% compared to 40%), and left trapezius activity (9% of time spent >10% MVC compared to 28%). Conclusion. Practitioners and students should adjust their workstations to reduce the prevalence of MSDs.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to assess the surgical outcomes of patients with work-related upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (UE-MSDs) who failed conservative treatment.Material and MethodsThis was a retrospective study of 17 patients who had work-related UE-MSDs and underwent the following surgeries and follow-up evaluations: decompression, external and internal neurolysis of the upper trunk of the brachial plexus and the long thoracic nerve (LTN), and a partial resection of the anterior and middle scalene muscle. A detailed history of clinical presentation including pain, physical and clinical examinations of the extent of scapular winging (ESW), and upper extremity anatomical postures, such as active forward arm flexion and shoulder abduction, were recorded before and after 3 months of the surgery. Nerve conduction velocity and electromyography examination reports were obtained to assess the sensory or motor loss of the nerve injury before their operation.ResultsAll 17 patients included in this report showed some improvement anatomically in the scapula appearance and functionally in their shoulder movements. More specifically, 9 (53%) patients got a restored to near healthy appearance of the scapula, and 11 (65%) patients recovered a full range of motion, 180° post-surgically. Overall, the mean shoulder flexion and abduction improved to 157±37.5° and 155±40.2° after the surgery from 106±30.2° and 111±34.8°, respectively (p < 0.0001). The ESW score also significantly improved from a mean of 1.5±0.51 to 3.5±0.71 (p < 0.0001). The post-surgical improvements were statistically highly significant (p < 0.0001).ConclusionsDecompression and neurolysis of the upper brachial plexus and the LTN, and the partial release of the scalene muscle contracture procedures have fostered improvements in the shoulder anatomical appearance and movements in all 17 patients.

BackgroundCold storage facilities are the most common workplaces that produce artificially cold work environments and are associated with different adverse effects on human health, work productivity and the occurrence of accidents and injuries. The aim of this study was to measure the antagonistic health effects on workers, so that common factors causing abnormal symptoms could be determined, and to gather basic information to monitor the associated health risks from the exposure to cold work environments.Material and MethodsA cross-sectional analytical study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of cold-related adverse health effects, musculoskeletal symptoms, skin problems, injuries, respiratory illnesses, general hygiene and occupational environment related to cold indoor workplaces, using the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire. A total of 200 subjects took part in this study, including 100 exposed and 100 unexposed to cold environments. A 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a t-test were applied to measure statistical differences and to differentiate the cases where variations occurred, using SPSS 16.ResultsThe study revealed that a longer and constant exposure to extremely cold indoor work environments significantly increased (p < 0.001) the cold-related symptoms and musculoskeletal disorders which ultimately reduced (p < 0.01) the efficiency, effectiveness, performance and work ability of the exposed workers.ConclusionsThe study disclosed various adverse cold-related complaints of the studied subjects who were exposed to extreme cold conditions during a maximum number of working hours. The most consistent problems were related to musculoskeletal discomfort, skin problems and respiratory abnormalities. Med Pr. 2020;71(1):1–7

The Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) survey is a posture-sampling tool used specifically to examine the level of risk associated with upper limb disorders of individual workers. This paper examines the relationship between RULA’s postural scoring system and measures of surface electromyography (EMG), self-reports of discomfort, and job attitude questionnaires. Twenty participants each performed a 30-min typing task on a computer in 3 working postures based on RULA’s scoring system. A statistically significant difference was found only in perceived discomfort. The perceived discomfort results demonstrated that RULA was able to identify “high risk” postures. The next question we need to ask is, does perceived discomfort result in tissue damage, or does tissue damage yield discomfort?

Czas pracy w Polsce należy do najdłuższych w Europie. Jakie mogą być tego skutki dla zdrowia pracowników. Odpowiedzi na to pytanie poszukiwano dokonując przeglądu istniejących w literaturze badań na ten temat. Wskazują one jednoznacznie na to, że długi czas pracy jest związany z istotnym pogorszeniem się wskaźników układów krążenia, mięśniowo-szkieletowego oraz odpornościowego.
Working time in Poland is one of the longest in Europe. What can be its effects on workers' health? An attempt has been made to answer this question by reviewing existing research on that problem. The relationship between long working hours and a significant deterioration in cardiovascular, immunological and musculoskeletal indices has thus been confirmed.

Opis:
Objectives Non-medical hospital staff members are in frequent contact with patients and therefore are required to perform a wide variety of repetitive and high-frequency activities. The objective of this study was to assess the relationships between upper extremity activity and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) among non-medical hospital staff members. Material and Methods Carpal tunnel syndrome in 144 non-medical hospital staff members was diagnosed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), a physician’s diagnosis, physical examination (Tinel’s signs and Phalen test) and a nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test. In addition, an ergonomic assessment was performed and a video camera was used to record the physical activities at work. Results The prevalence rate of CTS was highest for the NMQ (51.9%), followed by physician’s diagnosis (49.5% for the right hand, 29.9% for the left hand), physical examination (54.7%), and nerve conduction test (motor nerve 27.5% and 25%, sensory nerve 21.7% and 15%, for right and left hands, respectively). Based on logistic regression models for the NMQ and physician’s diagnoses, there was a dose-dependently higher risk of CTS with the upper extremity index among participants, but this was non-significant based on the physical examination and nerve conduction tests. Conclusions Nerve conduction velocity is the gold standard in diagnosis of CTS, but use of NMQ and physician’s diagnosis may overestimate the incidence of CTS in workers who have been engaging in repetitive stress activities for a relatively short time.

Opis:
Sixty female prawn seed collectors and 60 female control subjects from Sajenakhali and Sandeshkhali blocks of Sunderbans, West Bengal, India, were randomly selected to evaluate and compare musculoskeletal disorders and physiological stress. The control group was engaged in domestic work involving minimum handintensive activities. The modified Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire and rapid entire body assessmentwere used. Most subjects suffered from discomfort in different body parts, especially in the lower back (98%), knees (88%), shoulders (75%), ankles (70%) and feet (67%). This study reveals that female prawn seed collectors suffer from significant physiological load and extreme physiological stress due to prolonged working hours in a standing posture and excessive work pressure. Consequently, all these factors affect female prawn seed collectors’ health and work performance.

Opis:
In Iran, furniture is mainly manufactured in small workshops, where most activities are performed manually. This study was conducted among workers of furniture workshops to determine prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and to assess ergonomic working conditions to identify major risk factors associated with musculoskeletal symptoms. In this study, 410 randomly selected furniture workers participated. The Nordic questionnaire and an ergonomics checklist consisting of 6 sections were used as data collection tools. An index was calculated for each section of the checklist. Action categories indicating the priority of corrective measures were also defined. The highest prevalence of symptoms was reported in the knees (39%), lower back (35.6%) and wrists/hands (29.5%). It was found that manual material handling, poor workstation design and awkward working postures were associated with the reported symptoms in these regions (OR 1.77–4.52). Poor general working conditions and work organization showed association as well. Any interventional measures should focus on these areas.

Opis:
Wstęp W Polsce 85% ludności dorosłej zgłasza dolegliwości bólowe odcinka lędźwiowego kręgosłupa, a 70–80% osób do 20. roku życia doświadczyło takich dolegliwości. Najczęstszą pierwotną przyczyną zapalnego bólu krzyża (ZBK) jest utrata lordozy lędźwiowej, która zapoczątkowuje zmiany w geometrii innych odcinków kręgosłupa i wpływa na ustawienie kończyn. Celem badania jest zweryfikowanie związku między głównymi krzywiznami kręgosłupa w płaszczyźnie strzałkowej, tj. lordozą lędźwiową i kifozą piersiową, a dolegliwościami bólowymi w różnych częściach narządu ruchu w grupie 20-letnich osób u progu stabilizacji ontogenetycznej. Założono, że nadmierne wychylenie odcinka lędźwiowego i zwiększony dysbalans piersiowo-lędźwiowy jest czynnikiem sprzyjającym ZBK. Materiał i metody Badaniami objęto 231 studentów I roku Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego w Katowicach w wieku 19–21 lat (103 mężczyzn w wieku 19,5±0,8 roku i 128 kobiet w wieku 19,6±0,8 roku). Studenci wypełnili Kwestionariusz Dolegliwości Mięśniowo-Szkieletowych (Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire – NMQ) w 2 wersjach: 7 dni (NMQ7) i 6 miesięcy (NMQ6). Wykorzystano plurimetr Rippsteina do pomiarów kąta kifozy piersiowej (thoracic kyphosis – KTH) i kąta lordozy lędźwiowej (KLL), przyjmując punkty odcięcia 30±5°. Wyniki Zaobserwowano wysoką i bardzo wysoką korelację (r = 0,6 i r = 0,8, p < 0,05) między występowaniem dolegliwości bólowych odcinka lędźwiowego kręgosłupa a plecami wklęsłymi, co może sugerować powiązanie tych objawów z większą lordozą lędźwiową. Wnioski Wady postawy w płaszczyźnie strzałkowej mogą być predyktorem występowania dolegliwości bólowych. Wyniki badań wskazały na częstsze występowanie objawów bólowych u osób z większym kątem lordozy lędźwiowej. Med. Pr. 2018;69(1):29–36
Background In Poland, about 85% of the population report low back pain (LBP) symptoms overall. Moreover, 70–80% of people aged below 20 have already experienced back pain. The primary cause of LBP is the loss of spinal lordosis, which initiates changes in geometry of the spine and has impact on limb arrangement. The aim of the study was to attempt to verify the relationship between the 2 main curvatures of the spine and its relation to symptoms in different parts of the musculoskeletal system, in a group of adults. It was assumed that hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine and misbalance of the thoraco-lumbar junction are risk factors for LBP. Material and Methods The study coverd 231 first-year students, (aged 19–21) of the University of Economics in Katowice. There were 103 men aged 19.5±0.8 years and 128 women aged 19.6±0.8 years. The students completed the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ): 7 days (NMQ7) and 6 months (NMQ6). A Rippstein’s plurimeter, was used to measure the angles of thoracic kyphosis (KTH) and lumbar lordosis (KLL). Cut of points was set at 30±5. Results The results indicate strong and very strong correlation (r = 0.6 and r = 0.8, p < 0.05) between the concave of the back and LBP, which may suggest the relationship between these symptoms and the increased lordosis. Conclusions Postural defects in the sagittal plane may predict the occurrence of pain. The results of the study indicate a higher frequency of pain in people with a higher angle of lumbar lordosis.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders have serious impact on the profession of dentistry. There is common occurrence of pain due to incorrect posture in dental professionals. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies may cast a new light on preventing and intercepting musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). An epidemiological study was conducted in an effort to contribute to the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in dentistry. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of MSD at dentists using CAM as a treatment and preventive modality for MSD and to compare job/career satisfaction between dentists who use CAM and conventional therapy (CT). Material and Methods: Dentists registered in Uttrakhand state, India, under the Dental Council of India and registered members of the Indian Dental Association, Uttrakhand branch (N = 1496) were surveyed. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 17. Results: A response rate of 84% (N = 1257) was obtained, revealing that 90% (N = 1131) had the problem of MSD. Seventy three percentage (N = 826) of dentists with MSD reported the use of CAM and CT. Complementary and alternative medicine users reported greater overall health (72.7% vs. 51%, p < 0.001), job satisfaction (61.2% vs. 35%, p < 0.001) and work efficiency compared to CT users. Conclusions: Complementary and alternative medicine therapies may improve quality of life, reduce work interruption and enhance job satisfaction for dentists who suffers from MSD. Through the course of their studies, dentists should be equipped with knowledge on ergonomics and CAM therapies, such as yoga and others, to help them prevent musculoskeletal disorders more effectively.

Wstęp: Zaburzenia mięśniowo-szkieletowe znacząco wpływają na wykonywanie zawodu przez lekarzy dentystów. W tej grupie zawodowej obserwuje się powszechne występowanie bólu z powodu nieprawidłowej postawy ciała. Terapie z zakresu medycyny komplementarnej i alternatywnej (complementary and alternative medicine - CAM) mogą rzucić nowe światło na zapobieganie zaburzeniom mięśniowo-szkieletowym (musculoskeletal disorders - MSD). Celem badania było ustalenie, czy w przypadku MSD dentyści korzystają z medycyny alternatywnej. Porównano także satysfakcję zawodową dentystów, którzy stosują terapie CAM i tych korzystających z terapii konwencjonalnej. Materiał i metody: W badaniu wzięli udział dentyści zarejestrowani w regionie Uttrakhand (Indie) w Radzie Dentystycznej Indii i będący członkami Indyjskiego Towarzystwa Dentystycznego (oddział Uttrakhand) (N = 1496). Analizy statystyczne przeprowadzono za pomocą pakietu SPSS 17. Wyniki: Wskaźnik odpowiedzi wyniósł 84% (N = 1257). Aż 90% (N = 1131) respondentów cierpiało z powodu MSD. Korzystanie z CAM i terapii konwencjonalnej zgłosiło 73% (N = 826) dentystów biorących udział w badaniu, u których występowały MSD. Osoby stosujące CAM w porównaniu z osobami leczącymi się konwencjonalnie zgłaszały lepszy ogólny stan zdrowia (72,7% vs 51%, p < 0,001), wyższy poziom satysfakcji zawodowej (61,2% vs 35%, p < 0,001) i były w stanie pracować w takim wymiarze czasu, w jakim chciały (56,8% vs. 67%, p < 0,001) Wnioski: Terapie CAM mogą poprawić jakość życia, zredukować przerwy w pracy i zwiększyć satysfakcję zawodową u dentystów cierpiących na MSD. Już na etapie studiów należy przekazać dentystom wiedzę z zakresu ergonomii oraz terapii CAM, żeby potrafili skuteczniej zapobiegać wystąpieniu zaburzeń mięśniowo-szkieletowych.

Opis:
Stomatolodzy w trakcie pracy narażeni są na wiele czynników wpływających negatywnie na stan układu ruchu. Głównym z nich jest statyczny charakter pracy spowodowany przyjmowaniem wymuszonej pozycji ciała. Celem artykułu było wykazanie zależności pomiędzy stosowaniem zasad ergonomii w pracy zawodowej lekarzy stomatologów, a występowaniem schorzeń narządu ruchu. Ponadto ocenie poddano znajomość zasad ergonomii stomatologicznej w tej grupie. Na podstawie badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych wśród 79 stomatologów dokonano oceny znajomości i stosowania zasad ergonomii pracy oraz występowania dolegliwości w obrębie narządu ruchu. Jedynie 4% stomatologów robiło przerwę w pracy po każdym pacjencie, natomiast aż 18% pracowało bez przerw. Zdecydowana większość (84%) stomatologów podczas wykonywania zabiegu stomatologicznego przyjmowała pozycje siedzącą. Z asystą pracowała ponad połowa (54%) lekarzy stomatologów. Wśród osób, które odczuwają ból kręgosłupa w odcinku szyjnym ponad połowa, bo 54% osób pracowało w pozycji z szyją pochyloną w prawo. Większość zasad ergonomii stosowana jest nieprawidłowo, dlatego powinny być one dopasowywane indywidualnie do konkretnego stomatologa, z uwzględnieniem jego możliwości fizycznych, geometrii środowiska pracy, zakresu wykonywanych czynności, a także osobistych upodobań.
Dentists in the workplace are exposed to a number of factors that affect the condition of the movement system. The main problem seams to be the static nature of work due to the adoption of forced body position. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the relationship between the use of ergonomics principles in the professional work of dentists and the occurrence of motor disorders. In addition, knowledge of the principles of dental ergonomics in this group was assessed. The study was conducted among 79 dentists. The knowledge and application of the principles of ergonomics and the occurrence of ailments within the motor system were evaluated. Only 4% of dentists were taking a break from work after each patient, while 18% were working without interruption. The vast majority (84%) of dentists, while performing dental surgery took a sitting position. More than half (54%) of dentists who participated in the study worked with assistants. Among people who experience pain in the cervical spine 54% of people work in the position with neck inclined to the right. Most principles of ergonomics are not correct, so they should be adjusted individually to a particular dentist taking in to account its physical capabilities, the geometry of the work environment, the range of activities performed, and personal preferences as well.

Background. Changes in industries and work practices have coincided with work-related musculoskeletal disorders(MSDs). This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of MSDs and to assess postural loading in assembly workers of an Iranian telecommunication manufacturing company. Methods. Data were collected from 193 randomly selected workers in 4 units of the company. The Nordic musculoskeletal disorders questionnaire and the UBC ergonomic checklist were used as data collection tools. Loading on the upper body assessment(LUBA) was used to assess postural loading. Results. Lower back symptoms were the most prevalent problems among the workers (67.9%). LUBA showed that most assembly workers (94.3%) had experienced considerable and high postural loading (postural load index, PLI > 5). Regression analyses revealed that lighting, rotation, contact stress, repetition, gender and age were factors associated with symptoms. Conclusion. Work-related MSDs occurred at a high rate among workers. Postural loading requires consideration. Any ergonomic intervention should focus on eliminating ergonomic factors associated with symptoms.

Manual material handling (MMH) tasks can be found in most workplaces and they may constitute a risk factor for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of WMSDs and to compare MMH loads with the acceptable weight and force limits among Iranian casting workers. Data were collected from 50 workers of casting workshops who performed MMH tasks. The Nordic musculoskeletal disorders questionnaire and the Snook tables were used as tools for data collection. Hand/wrist symptoms were the most prevalent problems among the workers (84%). The results of the Snook tables showed that the loads in lifting (84%), lowering (86%), carrying (66%), pushing with initial (43%) and sustained force (59%), and pulling tasks with initial (48%) and sustained force (93%) exceeded recommended limits. WMSDs occurred in high rates among the workers and, thus, ergonomics interventions should focus on decreasing WMSDs and redesigning MMH tasks.

Opis:
Physical activity is an inseparable sphere of human life, and is not rarely associated with work. Evolution has adapted man to perform various activities that meet their life needs. Man is created for walking, sitting, lying and standing. All these activities should take place in turns. Physical work should be varied in terms of dynamics and not limit people to stay in one position while performing work. The position changes, among others, to increase blood pressure, in addition, stimulates the heart and respiratory sys-tem, as well as improves the efficiency of both physical and mental work. In turn, taking only one position for a long time, which often occurs in static physical work, causes many health problems. For musculoskeletal disorders related to a non-ergonomic work position and a forced position at work, every fourth employee in Europe complains. In Poland, musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most common causes of absence at work. In Polish enterprises, the assumption that profit is the most important is still dominant. Man is rarely seen as the most important capital of an enterprise that needs to be taken care of. For many employers, all additional measures related to shaping safe working conditions are only costs, not investment and potential profit. This paper presents the effects of static physical work in relation to work safety in the light of publicly available reports and information. The review has been enriched with the results of research carried out in one of the production enterprises of the SMEs sector. The re-search results presented in the paper are pilot and constitute an introduction to a large research work.

Opis:
The United States MEPS (musculoskeletal-eyestrain-psychosocial-stress) study consisted of 1 group of 28 female data entry operators. The intervention was in 3 parts: workstation redesign (including advanced ergonomic chairs, motorized adjustable workstations, advanced adjustable keyboards, adjustable copyholders, adjustable footrests, monitor support surfaces) and ergonomic training/coaching and corrective lenses. After the intervention, statistically significant reductions in physical signs (trigger points, neck and shoulder mobility), subjective reports of intensity and frequency of musculoskeletal pain, and subjective reports of visual problems were observed. Static load during the work sample, as assessed by experts, improved after the intervention as did measured postural angles of head and trunk and subjective assessment of users of ergonomic characteristics of the workplaces. For all of these measures, improvements observed 1 month after intervention were also observed in the 1-year follow-up. Trapezius load, as assessed by electromyography (EMG), decreased after intervention, but then increased in the follow-up. The increase was interpreted as a calibration problem.

Opis:
Objectives Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve entrapment syndrome, which since the beginning of the seventies has been linked to the keyboard and visual display unit (VDU). The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and personal factors associated with CTS in female VDU workers in Italy. Material and Methods Participants in this study were female adult subjects, working ≥ 20 h/week (N = 631, mean age 38.14±7.81 years, mean working age 12.9±7.24 years). Signs and symptoms were collected during compulsory occupational medical surveillance. The binary logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios for the factors of interest. Results Diagnosis of CTS was reported in 48 cases (7.6%, 11 of them or 1.7% after a surgical correction) for the incidence of 5.94/1000 person-years. In general, signs and symptoms of CTS were associated with the following demographic factors: previous trauma of upper limb (adjusted odds ratio (ORa) = 8.093, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.347–27.904), history (> 5 years) of oral contraceptives therapy/hormone replacement therapy (ORa = 3.77, 95% CI: 1.701–8.354) and cervical spine signs/symptoms (ORa = 4.565, 95% CI: 2.281–9.136). Conclusions The prevalence of CTS was similar to the estimates for the general population of Italy. Among personal risk factors, hormone therapy, previous trauma of the upper limb and signs/symptoms of the cervical spine appeared to be associated with a higher risk of CTS syndrome. Eventually, the results reinforce interpretation of CTS in VDU workers as a work-related musculoskeletal disorder rather than a classical occupational disease.

Opis:
Potters and sculptors perform their work in very awkward postures. The purpose of this study was to analyse these postures. The modified Nordic questionnaire was used to analyse musculoskeletal discomfort. Rapid entire body assessment (REBA) and rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) were used to evaluate the subjects' postures. There were no significant differences between times of discomfort and the group of subjects. However, there were significant differences in discomfort in different body parts. The analysis indicated that various body postures were harmful to the subjects and that there were profound deviations from natural curvature of various body parts due to awkward body postures. Ergonomics intervention was required to improve the quality of life.

Opis:
Few evaluation tools are available to assess knowledge-transfer and exchange interventions. The objective of this paper is to develop and demonstrate a theory-based knowledge-transfer and exchange method of evaluation (KEME) that synthesizes 3 theoretical frameworks: the promoting action on research implementation of health services (PARiHS) model, the transtheoretical model of change, and a model of knowledge use. It proposes a new term, keme, to mean a unit of evidence-based transferable knowledge. The usefulness of the evaluation method is demonstrated with 4 occupational health and safety knowledge transfer and exchange (KTE) implementation case studies that are based upon the analysis of over 50 pre-existing interviews. The usefulness of the evaluation model has enabled us to better understand stakeholder feedback, frame our interpretation, and perform a more comprehensive evaluation of the knowledge use outcomes of our KTE efforts.

Opis:
This study aims to compare 3 observational techniques for assessing postural load, namely, OWAS, RULA, and REBA. The comparison was based on the evaluation results generated by the classification techniques using 301 working postures. All postures were sampled from the iron and steel, electronics, automotive, and chemical industries, and a general hospital. While only about 21% of the 301 postures were classified at the action category/level 3 or 4 by both OWAS and REBA, about 56% of the postures were classified into action level 3 or 4 by RULA. The inter-method reliability for postural load category between OWAS and RULA was just 29.2%, and the reliability between RULA and REBA was 48.2%. These results showed that compared to RULA, OWAS, and REBA generally underestimated postural loads for the analyzed postures, irrespective of industry, work type, and whether or not the body postures were in a balanced state.

Opis:
Stanowiska pracy monotypowej spotyka się w wielu zakładach przemysłowych oraz w innych miejscach pracy. Zarówno wykonywanie samych czynności monotypowych, jak i czynniki występujące w środowisku pracy są źródłami obciążającymi organizm pracownika, co może skutkować stresem, spadkiem wydajności pracy oraz pojawieniem się zmęczenia, a także wielu dolegliwości, w tym schorzeń układu mięśniowo-szkieletowego (tzw. MSDs). W artykule przedstawiono istniejące definicje pracy monotypowej, skutki zdrowotne, które może ona wywoływać, istniejące metody oceny stopnia obciążenia wynikającego z monotypowości ruchów roboczych, a także możliwe sposoby oddziaływania fizycznych czynników środowiska pracy na pracownika wykonującego pracę monotypową. Dokonano również analizy czterech wybranych stanowisk pracy monotypowej, na których oprócz charakterystyki procesu pracy przeprowadzono badania ankietowe pozwalające poznać subiektywną ocenę pracowników na temat warunków pracy. W podsumowaniu podkreślono zagadnienie istotności, a zarazem złożoności kompleksowej oceny ryzyka zawodowego (głównie wystąpienia MSDs) na stanowiskach pracy monotypowej, uwzględniającej m.in. udział fizycznych czynników środowiska pracy w generowaniu obciążeń, ponieważ od prawidłowo rozpoznanych źródeł obciążeń zależy skuteczny dobór działań profilaktycznych.
The workstations of monotype work are commonly met in industrial plants and other work places. Both repetitive work itself and the working environment factors make human body overloaded, which may affect in stress, a decrease of work efficiency, fatigue and the numerous ailments including musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). In this article, the definition of repetitive work has been given. Health disorders due to this kind of work, the existing methods for evaluating the degree of nuisance resulting from repetitiveness of movements at work as well as well as the possible impact the physical factors of the work environment may have on the employee performing a monotype job have been discussed. Four repetitive work stations have been characterized and analyzed. Workers’ subjective opinions about their working conditions have been collected by the means of survey study. In the summary, the significance and the complexity of the proper evaluation of occupational risk at repetitive workstations (mainly MSDs risk) have been mentioned. The working environment factors that generate the workload have been taken into consideration as it is crucial to identify those factors properly in order to take the effective health prevention actions.

Opis:
Artykuł oparty jest na badaniach wykonanych wśród 113 mężczyzn pracujących na linii produkcyjnej zakładu produkcyjnego przemysłu motoryzacyjnego. Dobór do grupy badawczej następował po analizie biomechanicznej materiału filmowego, na którym zarejestrowano pracę na poszczególnych stanowiskach zakładu. Badano mężczyzn z działu montażu i odlewni zakładu produkcyjnego. Pracownicy z wybranych miejsc linii produkcyjnej brali udział w badaniu ankietowym. Uzyskano informacje na temat przyjmowanych pozycji ciała w trakcie pracy zawodowej, znajomości zasad ergonomii, stażu pracy oraz aktywności fizycznej w czasie wolnym. Pytano o występowanie bólu kręgosłupa z wyszczególnieniem na odcinek szyjny i lędźwiowy. Liczne dolegliwości bólowe kręgosłupa skłoniły do poszukiwania związku między bólem a stażem pracy oraz wiekiem pracowników fizycznych. Istnieje statystycznie istotna różnica między średnią siłą bólu odcinka szyjnego oraz lędźwiowego kręgosłupa a grupą stażu pracy. Badania pokazują, że ankietowani nie posiadają wiedzy na temat patobiomechanizmu zmian przeciążeniowych. Wyniki przeprowadzonej analizy potwierdzają istnienie problemu występowania zmian przeciążeniowych wśród pracowników przemysłu motoryzacyjnego.
This present article is based on the research performed by one hundred and thirteen men working on the production line of at an automotive manufacturing plant. The selection of the research group was made after a biomechanical analysis of the film material in which the work had been recorded at the various plant sites. Workers from the assembly and foundry departments of the plant were examined. The workers from the selected production line sites participated in a survey. The obtained information regarded body position during work, knowledge of ergonomics, seniority and physical activity during leisure time. The spine pain was reported to be detailed in the cervical and lumbar sections. Numerous painful spinal disorders prompted the search for a link between pain and work experience as well as the age of labourers. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean pain intensity of the cervical and lumbar spine groups of seniority. Studies show that the respondents have no knowledge of the nature of overload lesions. The results of the analysis confirm the existence of the problem of overload lesions among employees of the automotive industry.

Opis:
The discussion developed in this paper is based on the results of an ergonomic work analysis carried out with attendants at call centers. Some critical issues and difficulties, like working pace, inadequate tools and workstations, and software inadequacies were detected in working situations. Operator-customer interactions are presented, attempting to put in evidence working constraints, working conditions, and their connection with health problems. The main conclusion is that serving clients, especially when the job is to provide information, is not a simple task, as information is not always available in the computerized system and is completely fragmented. The scope of workers’ actions is very restricted and complicated and recurrent requests are redirected to others. Workers (individually or as groups) have limited possibilities to make adjustments to be able to give more adequate and personalized treatment to clients and, at the same time, to work in a less stressful environment. In periods of increased workload and work intensification, the situation is very much favorable to the incidence of health disorders, such as work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) and others. Some suggestions to improve the work situation are discussed.

Opis:
Wstęp Obciążenie fizyczne, ekspozycja na hałas oraz intensywny kontakt skóry z instrumentem muzycznym wynikające z pracy muzyka mają wpływ na rozwój dolegliwości układów mięśniowo-szkieletowego, słuchowego oraz skóry. Celem tego opracowania jest rozpoznanie problemów zdrowotnych związanych z grą na instrumencie w grupie polskich muzyków oraz wskazanie różnic w tym zakresie pomiędzy studentami a profesjonalistami. Materiał i metody W badaniu kwestionariuszowym udział wzięło 255 muzyków, którzy odpowiedzieli na zaproszenia do badania – 104 studentów oraz 151 aktywnych zawodowo muzyków posiadających wykształcenie muzyczne. Kobiety stanowiły 61% całej próby. Średnia wieku w badanej grupie wyniosła 31 lat, a średni staż gry na instrumencie – 23 lata. Wyniki Dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowe zaobserwowało u siebie 10–79% badanych muzyków (w zależności od lokalizacji objawów). Dolegliwości słuchowe (nadwrażliwość na dźwięki – 52%, pogorszenie słuchu – 43%, szumy uszne – 41%) i skórne (pogrubienia skóry – 69%, otarcia naskórka – 58%, reakcje alergiczne – 26%) występowały rzadziej i określane były jako mniej nasilone. Badani profesjonaliści opisywali swoje dolegliwości słuchowe (nadwrażliwość na dźwięki, pogorszenie słuchu oraz szumy uszne) jako istotnie intensywniejsze niż zgłaszali to studenci. Młodzi muzycy natomiast skarżyli się na bardziej dotkliwe otarcia naskórka w stosunku do podobnych objawów wskazywanych przez badanych profesjonalnych muzyków. Nie wykazano żadnych różnic dotyczących dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych pomiędzy studentami a profesjonalistami. Wnioski Zagrożenia dla zdrowia wynikające z gry na instrumencie przekładają się na relatywnie duże rozpowszechnienie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych, ale także dolegliwości słuchowych i skórnych. Kluczowe są zatem poszukiwania czynników zwiększających ryzyko wystąpienia tych dolegliwości, a także skutecznych metod korekcyjnych i terapeutycznych. Med. Pr. 2018;69(4):383–394
Background Physical demands, exposure to noise and intense contact of skin with musical instruments – inevitable in musicians’ job – influence the development of musculoskeletal, hearing and skin problems. This paper aims at identifying playing-related health problems among Polish musicians and potential differences in this regard between students and professional musicians. Material and Methods This questionnaire study involved 255 musicians who volunteered to participate – 104 students and 151 professional musicians having music education. The study sample included 61% of women. Mean age of the participants equaled 31 years old, mean playing experience – 23 years old. Results From 10% to 79% (depending on the affected body part) of the studied musicians experienced musculoskeletal problems. Hearing (41% – tinnitus; 43% – hearing impairment and 52% – hyperacusis) and skin problems (69% – callosities, 58% – abrasions and 26% – allergic reactions) were reported less frequently and were assessed as less severe than musculoskeletal symptoms. The studied professionals assessed their hearing problems (hyperacusis, hearing impairment and tinnitus) as significantly more severe than reported by students. Young musicians, in turn, experienced more severe abrasions than the studied professional musicians. We found no significant differences between students and professionals as regards their musculoskeletal problems. Conclusions Playing-related health risks translate into relatively high prevalence of musculoskeletal as well as hearing and skin problems among musicians. Hence, it is essential for future studies to search for risk factors for these health problems as well as effective corrective and therapeutic measures. Med Pr 2018;69(4):383–394

Opis:
The implementation of a successful ergonomic and medical intervention program designed to reduce the number and severity of injuries and illnesses and the associated levels of discomfort in the workplace is presented. Because of the recent activity concerning the on-again-off-again Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Ergonomic Program Standard questions have been raised as to the value and effectiveness of an organization’s ergonomics program. In light of these concerns, the immense cost associated with work-related injury and illness, and the related pain and suffering associated with such injuries and illnesses, it is important to present a workable and effective ergonomic and medical intervention program. The results of this applied study demonstrate that through the application of an ergonomic and medical intervention program, workplace-related injuries and illnesses can be reduced or eliminated.

Materiał i metody Badaniem objętych zostało 914 studentów i 451 pracowników, którzy wypełnili anonimowy kwestionariusz online. Pytania dotyczyły 2 okresów: przed epidemią COVID-19 oraz w jej trakcie od października 2020 r. do czerwca 2021 r. i miały na celu uzyskanie informacji o stylu życia (w tym aktywności fizycznej, snu i odczuwanego stresu), ergonomii stanowisk pracy przy komputerze, występowania i nasilenia objawów mięśniowo-szkieletowych oraz bólu głowy. Wyniki W czasie epidemii istotnie wzrosło nasilenie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych w grupie pracowników dydaktycznych (3,2±2,5 vs 4,1±3,0 pkt VAS), w grupie pracowników administracyjnych (3,1±2,5 vs 4,0±3,1 pkt VAS) oraz w grupie studentów (2,8±2,4 vs 3,5±2,8 pkt VAS). Na podstawie oceny stanowisk pracy metodą ROSA stwierdzono, że poziom obciążenia i ryzyka wystąpienia dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych był średni we wszystkich 3 grupach badanych. Wnioski W świetle uzyskanych wyników bardzo ważna jest edukacja w zakresie racjonalnego korzystania z urządzeń nowych technologii, w tym odpowiedniego zaprojektowania komputerowych stanowisk pracy/nauki, planowania przerw i czasu przeznaczonego na regenerację oraz aktywność fizyczną.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a fundamental change in the lifestyle and the ways of learning and working patterns which in turn might lead to health consequences including musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the conditions of e-learning and remote working and the impact of the learning/working modality on the occurrence of musculoskeletal symptoms among university students and workers in Poland. Material and Methods This study covered 914 students and 451 employees who filled in an anonymous online questionnaire. The questions covered 2 periods: before the COVID-19 pandemic and during the period from October 2020 to June 2021 and were aimed at obtaining information about lifestyle (including physical activity, perceived stress and sleep pattern), ergonomic of computer workstations, the incidence and severity of musculoskeletal symptoms and headaches. Results During the outbreak, the severity of musculoskeletal complaints increased significantly in the teaching staff group (3.2±2.5 vs. 4.1±3.0 VAS pts), in the administrative staff group (3.1±2.5 vs. 4.0±3.1 VAS pts), and in the student group (2.8±2.4 vs. 3.5±2.8 VAS pts). The average level of burden and risk of musculoskeletal complaints was revealed by the assessment using the ROSA method, in all 3 study groups. Conclusions In light of current results, it is very important to educate people on the rational use of new technology devices, including the appropriate design of computer workstations, planning breaks and time for recovery and physical activity.

Opis:
Wstęp Epidemia COVID-19 przyczyniła się do zasadniczej zmiany stylu życia oraz sposobu nauki i pracy, co potencjalnie może prowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji zdrowotnych, zwłaszcza w kontekście dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych. Celem badania była ocena wpływu nauki i pracy zdalnej na niektóre aspekty stylu życia i sposób wykonywania nauki/pracy oraz występowanie dolegliwości mięśniowo-szkieletowych u studentów i pracowników uczelni wyższych w Łodzi. Materiał i metody Badaniem objętych zostało 914 studentów i 451 pracowników, którzy wypełnili anonimowy kwestionariusz online.
