Effect of Altered Body Composition on Musculoskeletal Disorders in Medical Practitioners

Social Security Organisation<strong> </strong>(SOCSO) Malaysia has reported that the incidence of work related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) has been growing planetary in the manufacturing industry. MSDs are the result of repetitive, forceful or awkward movements on our body and or body parts of bones, joints, ligaments and other soft tissues. Workplace pains and strains can be serious and disabling for workers, causing pain and suffering ranging from discomfort to severe disability. To overcome this problem, Electromyography is proper to use in Health Screening Program (HSP) it to monitor darn diagnose the muscle’s performance for their patient and know the exact localization of muscle pain. The previous researchers has been explore of several in EMG analysis techniques and features proposed in time, frequency and time-frequency domain analysis. This review of common EMG signal processing techniques is proposed by assembling from simple to complex analysis techniques to give the overview information for the other researcher. This is because; the suitable selection of a method and its features settings will ensure readability of the time-frequency representations and reliability of results. The strongest correspond with time-frequency characteristic and resolution also reducing cross term for bilinear will consider it as the optimal method.

Background This study aimed to investigate work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), occupational stress, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL); identify the factors that affect HRQoL; and investigate the moderating effects of WMSDs on occupational stress and HRQoL. Methods The participants were construction workers who had worked in the construction industry for over three months. A total of 178 construction workers voluntarily participated and anonymously completed the musculoskeletal symptoms questionnaire, the Korean Occupational Stress Scale, short-form 36. The moderation effect of WMSDs on occupational stress and HRQoL were analyzed by Haye’s Process Macro Model. Results The results of the study showed that 96 subjects (53.9%) had WMSDs, and the most common pain site was the lower back (33.3%). The group with WMSDs had higher occupational stress than did the group without WMSDs (p < 0.01). Compared with the group without WMSDs, the group with WMSDs displayed significant differences in HRQoL (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the factor affecting HRQoL was WMSDs (p < 0.001). In the impact of occupational stress on HRQoL, WMSDs had a significant moderating effect (p < 0.001). Conclusion The results of this study indicate that construction workers’ WMSDs significantly impact occupational stress and HRQoL, and WMSDs have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between occupational stress and HRQoL. Therefore, to improve the HRQoL of workers in the construction industry, it is necessary to develop methods to reduce occupational stress and prevent and treat WMSDs.
