“…Musculoskeletal Disorder is a health problem involving the joints, muscles, tendons, skeleton, cartilage, ligaments, and nerves (Van et al, 2016). Musculoskeletal Disorder is related to the intensity and severity of work, although often light activities such as housework or exercise may also be involved (Barro et al, 2015). Some studies show that MSDs can occur due to a combination of various factors.…”

Central health of Sukamerindu Bengkulu city is a working area of Sukamerindu Public Health Center which has informal business spread in 7 regions. One of the informal businesses in Sukamerindu Village is laundry. Laundry which is spread in Sukamerindu area has 18 laundries with 49 workers. Based on observations made there are 75% of workers with ergonomic posture and 25% of workers who are not ergonomic. As for musculoskeletal complaints, there were 43% who experienced big complaints and 57% with mild complaints. Purpose of research to know the relation of work posture with a complaint of musculoskeletal disorders at laundry worker in work area of central health Sukamerindu. The method used is cross-sectional. The population of laundry workers in the work area of Sukamerindu central health there are 49 workers. The sample used in this study uses total sampling, which is 49 workers. Assessment of work posture using checklist posture and for complaints of musculoskeletal disorders using Nordic body map questionnaire. The statistical test used chi-square to show there is a correlation of work posture with musculoskeletal disorders complaint that is p = 0,003 (p = <0,005), a minority (25%) of workers with not ergonomic posture and less than half (43%) of workers experienced big complaints. It is maintaining body posture while working as a first step to prevent musculoskeletal injury. As for workers who experience complaints, they should maintain their working attitude so as not to increase the risk of complaints.

“…However, very few studies have investigated the impact of these risks indicators on lower limb pain. A recent study found a significant association of lower limb pain with extreme temperatures and night shifts among workers of a processing plant (Barro et al 2015 ). Performing repetitive tasks may increase the prevalence of MSDs such as upper extremity pain and low back pain (Andersen et al 2007 ; Latza et al 2002 ; Roelen et al 2008 ; Tissot et al 2005 ).…”

ObjectiveDevelop a model to predict the prevalence of lower limb pain using indicators of high workplace exposures based on the fifth European Working Conditions Survey, evaluate its impact and explore its significance for work-related health problems.MethodCross-sectional interview data of 35,372 workers from 27 countries of the European Union in 2010 (EU27) were used to develop (20% sample) and validate (80% sample) a logistic regression model for lower limb pain. Independent variables included descriptions of working conditions, assessments of physical and psychosocial exposures at work, and demographic factors. The impact of the model was explored through the amount of lower limb pain cases attributable to work and estimating work absences correlated with lower limb pain.ResultsThe resulting logistic model included ten risks indicators and one preventive factor. The highest odds ratios (OR) corresponded to “tiring or painful positions” OR 2.0, 99% confidence interval (99% CI) 1.9–2.2, and “not satisfied with level of working conditions in the job” (OR 1.6, 99% CI 1.5–1.7). The prevalence of work-related lower limb pain was 16.5% for men and 15.8% for women for the 27 countries of the European Union. Estimates based on the developed model revealed more than 34 million cases of work-related lower limb pain, where four physical risks explained about 22 million cases. In addition, more than 3 million days of absence from work in 2010 could be attributed to lower limb pain.ConclusionLower limb pain is highly prevalent among the European workforce and work exposures are a major contributing factor. Effective workplace interventions should aim at improving working conditions at workplaces with multiple risks.

“…Shift work and the resulting misalignment of sleep schedules with the circadian rhythm have been associated with a myriad of adverse health conditions, including increased rates of obesity, cardiac disease and cancer [8,18]. Additionally, shift work has been correlated with increased rates of reported musculoskeletal and lower back pain [17,15,1]. We simulated an 8-h shift work schedule between 11 pm and 7 am for 5 consecutive days as may occur for a typical shiftwork week (Figure 4).…”

Pain sensitivity is strongly modulated by time of day and by prior sleep behavior. These two factors, governed by the circadian rhythm and homeostatic sleep drive, respectively, likewise dictate the timing and duration of sleep. The fields of sleep and circadian research have identified much of the physiology underlying the circadian rhythm and homeostatic sleep drive with mathematical modeling playing an important role in understanding how these two processes interact to affect sleep behavior. We hypothesize that the daily rhythm of pain sensitivity and its sleepdependent modulation reflect an interaction of the circadian rhythm and homeostatic sleep drive. To investigate this hypothesis, we adapt the formalism of a classic mathematical model for the regulation of sleep behavior by the circadian rhythm and homeostatic sleep drive, called the Two Process model, to simulate the interaction of these two processes on pain sensitivity. To construct the model, we utilize data from experimental reports on the daily rhythmicity of pain sensitivity in humans to define a "daily pain sensitivity" function. We decompose this function into two processes: a sleep-dependent process S(t) that follows the homeostatic sleep drive and a circadian process C(t) that is dictated by the circadian rhythm. By simulating different sleep schedules with the original Two Process model, we compute changes in the sleep-dependent process S(t) that modulates pain sensitivity. By combining S(t) The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not . http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/098319 doi: bioRxiv preprint first posted online Jan. 5, 2017; 2 Toporikova, Hagenauer, Ferguson and Booth with the circadian process C(t), our model predicts resultant changes in the daily pain sensitivity rhythm. We illustrate model predictions for changes in pain sensitivity due to sleep deprivation, sleep restriction and shift work schedules. We believe that this model may be a useful tool for pain management by providing predictions of the variations in pain sensitivity due to changing sleep schedules.Natalia
