Exposure–response relationships for work-related neck and shoulder musculoskeletal disorders – Analyses of pooled uniform data sets

Surgery for subacromial impingement syndrome in relation to intensities of occupational mechanical exposures across 10-year exposure time windows

“…In our case–control study, where we used cumulative exposure measures,7 a mean intensity of approximately 40 o /s across a 10-year time window yielded a significantly elevated OR adj of around 1.5, but the risk might have been overestimated as we were unable to control for cumulative effects of other occupational mechanical exposures. A recent cross-sectional study pointed to a suitable exposure limit of 50 o /s,22 but this was the exposure intensity that was associated with a doubling of the prevalence, which may not be a sufficient requirement for preventive purposes, and the study did not consider cumulative effects. Moreover, the outcome was not SIS, but infraspinatus tendinitis 22.…”

“…A recent cross-sectional study pointed to a suitable exposure limit of 50 o /s,22 but this was the exposure intensity that was associated with a doubling of the prevalence, which may not be a sufficient requirement for preventive purposes, and the study did not consider cumulative effects. Moreover, the outcome was not SIS, but infraspinatus tendinitis 22. Thus, it seems reasonable to point to 45 o /s as a threshold limit value.…”

Shoulder and Neck Pain: Interdisciplinary Aspects of Treatment

“…Межпозвонковые суставы представляют собой классические синовиальные суставы с поверхно-стями, покрытыми суставным гиалиновым хрящом, с суставной капсулой, ограничивающей содержащуюся в их полости синовиальную жидкость [9]. Дегенеративные изменения шейного отдела позвоночника могут разви-ваться уже с 25-30 лет, что может быть связано с врож-денными аномалиями, гипермобильностью позвоночных сегментов, травматизацией, рабочей позой с длительным наклоном головы, подъемом плеча, избыточной активно-стью трапециевидной мышцы и разгибателей предпле-чья, статическим положением запястья [10,11]. Первичный спондилоартроз занимает второе место среди причин нарушения трудоспособности людей старше 50 лет [12].…”

A Biobjective Model for Manual Materials Handling with Energy Consumption Being Accounted For

“…Unhealthy working environment and manual operations can result in workrelated musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), which is the most common job-related occupational injury. WMSDs are injuries or disorders of the muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, and spinal discs such as lower back pain, neckshoulder-wrist syndrome, and sprain [4,[11][12][13][14][15]. WMSDs are the leading cause of nonfatal occupational injuries that may lead to temporary or permanent disability.…”
