Opis:
Artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical reasoning support systems in physiotherapy, and in particular data-driven (machine learning) systems, can be useful in making and reviewing decisions regarding functional diagnosis and formulating/maintaining/modifying a rehabilitation programme. The aim of this article is to explore the extent to which the opportunities offered by AI-based systems for clinical reasoning in physiotherapy have been exploited and where the potential for their further stimulated development lies.
Systemy wspomagania wnioskowania klinicznego w fizjoterapii oparte na sztucznej inteligencji, a w szczególności na danych (uczenie maszynowe), mogą być przydatne w podejmowaniu i weryfikacji decyzji dotyczących diagnostyki funkcjonalnej ora formułowania/utrzymywania/modyfikowania programu rehabilitacji. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie, w jakim stopniu możliwości oferowane przez systemy oparte na sztucznej inteligencji w zakresie rozumowania klinicznego w fizjoterapii zostały wykorzystane i gdzie leży potencjał ich dalszego stymulowanego rozwoju.

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. 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:
Neuropathic pain and chronic pain constitute an interdisciplinary problem on the border of medicine, psychology, sociology and economics. While it seems to be underestimated, the scale of this problem will continue to increase due to the population aging and the growing incidence of lifestyle disorders. People employed in various occupational sectors may also wrestle with these disease units, which affect the quality of their life, mental health and work productivity. A narrative review provided an overview of neuropathic pain and chronic pain, and their relationship to such factors as job type, work absenteeism and productivity decline, as well mental well-being. A systematic literature search was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines to identify appropriate literature by searching the electronic databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Pain Journal and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Studies were published in Polish, English and French. Research shows an increasing number of musculoskeletal diseases in professionally active people, which lead to disability or provoke work absences. However, sickness presenteeism and/or absenteeism caused by pain not only leads to economic burdens, but also to burnout, fatigue and depression syndromes in employees. These disorders may require specialized effective interventions to support the return to work or maintaining employment despite experiencing pain. Every patient with chronic or neuropathic pain should be correctly assessed to determine the best method of treatment and its effectiveness.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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:
Choroby przewlekłe stanowią duży problem w wymiarach indywidualnym, społecznym i ekonomicznym oraz są przyczyną 60% zgonów na świecie, a szacuje się, że w 2020 r. odsetek ten wzrośnie do 72%. Wśród chorób przewlekłych największą grupę stanowią choroby układu krążenia (30%), nowotwory (13%), choroby układu oddechowego (7%) i cukrzyca (2%). Ich główne czynniki ryzyka to niezdrowa dieta, brak aktywności fizycznej i palenie tytoniu. Istotną rolę odgrywają także czynniki zawodowe i środowiskowe – u nauczycieli jest to hałas, na który skarży się 25% mężczyzn i 38% kobiet. W Polsce nie ma baz danych dotyczących chorób przewlekłych i ich czynników ryzyka w poszczególnych grupach zawodowych, w tym w grupie nauczycieli. Dobrze rozpoznany jest tylko problem zaburzeń głosu jako choroby zawodowej. Wśród nauczycieli w Polsce przeprowadzono nieliczne badania stanu zdrowia i stylu życia, ale ich wyników nie można uogólniać, gdyż badania były prowadzone różnymi metodami, w niewielkich grupach i w różnych regionach kraju. Z reprezentatywnego badania GUS pracowników działu „Edukacja” (brak danych o grupie samych nauczycieli) wśród problemów zdrowotnych dominowały dolegliwości ze strony układu mięśniowo- -szkieletowego (bóle pleców – 21,9%, bóle szyi, barku, ramion lub rąk, bioder, nóg i stóp – po ok. 10%). Bóle głowy lub przemęczenie oczu występowało u 14,6% badanych, stres, depresja i niepokój – u 7,3%, a choroby układu krążenia – u 4,6%. W celu ograniczenia występowania wśród nauczycieli chorób przewlekłych i ich negatywnych skutków należałoby podjąć wielokierunkowe działania, których pierwszym etapem powinno być przygotowanie diagnozy dotyczącej sytuacji zdrowotnej nauczycieli oraz czynników ryzyka chorób przewlekłych. Określenie problemów zdrowotnych tak ważnej grupy zawodowej jest istotnym zagadnieniem zdrowia publicznego.
Chronic diseases (ChDs) pose an essential problem from an individual, social and economic point of view. It is estimated that they account for 60% of all deaths worldwide, and this share is expected to rise to 72% by 2020. The most prevalent are cardiovascular diseases (30%), cancers (13%), respiratory diseases (7%), and diabetes (2%). Their major risk factors include unhealthy diet, the lack of physical activity, and tobacco smoking. Of significance are also occupational and environmental hazards. Among teachers, the factor with the highest impact is noise, reported by 25% of male and 38% of female teachers. In Poland, there are no databases on ChDs or risk factors in teachers; only voice disorders are well-recognized as an occupational disease. Only a few studies of health and lifestyle were conducted among teachers in Poland, but they cannot be generalized because they were carried out with different methods, in small groups of people and in various regions in the country. A representative study carried out by Statistics Poland (GUS) among education employees (with no separate data for teachers) revealed that the most prevalent were musculoskeletal disorders, including back-pain (21.9%), as well as painfulness of the neck, shoulder, hand, hip and leg (10% in each case). Headaches and eye fatigue were found in 14.6%; stress, anxiety and depression in 7.3%; and cardiovascular disorders in 4.6% of the study population. Defining health problems in this professional group is an important public health issue which should enable reducing the prevalence and adverse health effects of ChDs.
