“…First, the LE was caused by ECRB muscle strain 7) . Laboratory studies have shown that muscle strain injuries result in the disruption of muscle fibers near the muscletendon junction 37) .When the muscle fibers are damaged, spindle discharge levels fall significantly 12) . If the muscle strain also damaged the tendon, the function of the GTOs decreases.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of taping on wrist extensor force reproduction (FR) and wrist joint position reproduction (JPR) sense in subjects with and without lateral epicondylitis. [Subjects] Thirty workers in an automobile-parts manufacturing company participated: fifteen workers who had experienced pain with lateral epicondylitis and fifteen workers who had no history of lateral epicondylitis.[Methods] Taping was applied on the proximal forearm, starting from the medial, and tracking laterally. This was repeated two or three times.The FR error and JPR error of both groups (with and without lateral epicondylitis) were measured with and without taping.[Results] Without taping, the FR and JPR errors of the lateral epicondylitis group were significantly higher than those of the without lateral epicondylitis group.With taping, the FR error of the lateral epicondylitis group was significantly decreased from 1.24 kg to 0.49 kg. With taping, the JPR error of the lateral epicondylitis group was significantly decreased from 3.31 to 2.13 degrees.[Conclusion] The lateral epicondylitis group had significantly higher FR and JPR errors. Taping significantly improved force reproduction and joint position reproduction error.

“…Mechanical and physiological reactions of pain might cause damage to muscle tissue. Consequently, pain sensors in the muscles may become hypersensitive 37) . Studies of LE have shown that chronic pain in the neck/shoulder, elbow/forearm, and hand are accompanied by reduced proprioception 36) .…”

“…MSCs are an umbrella term for various disorders that develop because of repetitive movements, awkward postures, sustained force, and other risk factors [31,32]. A possible explanation for the development of MSCs in individuals with ULA is the increased workload for the non-affected limb [10] and the presence of compensatory movements in the trunk and proximal upper limb [33][34][35].…”

Purpose: To compare the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints (MSCs) in individuals with finger or partial hand amputations (FPHAs) with a control group and to explore the effect and predictors of MSCs in individuals with FPHAs. Method: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted. The primary outcome measures were: prevalence of MSCs, health status, pain-related disability, physical work demands, work productivity, and hand function. Results: The response rate was 61%. A comparable proportion of individuals with FPHAs (n ¼ 99) and controls (n ¼ 102) reported MSCs in the preceding 4 weeks (33% vs. 28%, respectively) or in the preceding year (37% vs. 33%, respectively). Individuals with FPHAs with MSCs experienced more pain than controls with MSCs. Regular occurrence of stump sensations and self-reported limited range of motion (ROM) of the wrist of the affected limb were predictors for MSCs in individuals with FPHAs. Conclusions: The prevalence of MSCs was comparable in individuals with FPHAs and controls. However, clinicians should pay special attention to the risk of developing MSCs in patients with stump sensations and limited ROM of the wrist of the affected limb. Future research should focus on the role of wrist movements and compensatory movements in the development of MSCs in individuals with FPHAs. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints (MSCs) in individuals with finger or partial hand amputations (FPHAs) and control subjects was similar. Regular occurrence of stump sensations and limited range of motion of the wrist of the affected limb were predictors of developing MSCs in individuals with FPHAs. Clinicians should pay special attention to individuals with FPHAs with the presence of these predictors of developing MSCs. For a better understanding of the development of and treatment options for MSCs, future research focusing on the role of wrist function in the development of MSCs in individuals with FPHAs is necessary.

“…Many employees gather, processes and produce information as their main task. While computers are useful tools for such knowledge workers, prolonged computer use can also lead to serious health risks [14]. Healthy working behavior is needed to guard the well-being of knowledge workers and reduce health risks.…”

Abstract. For healthy computer use, frequent, short breaks are crucial. This research investigated whether context-aware persuasive technology can identify opportune and effective moments (of high user motivation and ability to perform target behavior) for triggering short breaks fostering symbiotic interactions between e-Coaching e-Health technology and users. In Study 1, office workers rated their motivation and ability to take a short break (probed at random moments). Simultaneously their computer activity was recorded. Results showed that computer activity (time since last break; change in computer activity level) can predict moments of high and low (perceived) ability (but not motivation) to take a short break. Study 2 showed that when office workers received triggers (to take a short break) at moments of high (vs. low) ability (predicted based on computer activity), compliance increased 70%. These results show that context information can be used to identify opportune moments, at which persuasive triggers are more effective.
