“…The fact that UE-MSDs are a common and fairly minor health problem might explain why subjects without a UE-MSD (maybe feeling less affected by the study) less often partici-pated a few years after their inclusion in the study, as reported in women by Goldberg et al in a French cohort 36) . This lower participation would result in an overestimation of risks of UE-MSDs only if participation is higher among workers exposed to UE-MSDs than others 37) . In our study, a higher level of initial exposure may have positively influenced participation of both genders, as found elsewhere 38) .…”

Effects of Individual and Work‐related Factors on Incidence of Shoulder Pain in a Large Working Population: Julie BODIN, et al. LUNAM Université, Université d’Angers, Laboratoire d’ergonomie et d’épidémiologie en santé au travail (LEEST), France— Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effects of individual and work‐related factors on the incidence of shoulder pain in a large French working population. Methods A total of 3,710 workers of a French region were randomly included in a cross‐sectional study between 2002 and 2005. They completed a self‐administered questionnaire about musculoskeletal symptoms, individual factors and exposure to work constraints. In 2007, 2,332 responded to a follow‐up questionnaire. The Nordic questionnaire was used both times to assess shoulder pain during the preceding 7 days. Associations between incident shoulder pain and individual and work‐related factors at baseline were studied by multivariate logistic regression for both genders. Results A total of 946 men and 709 women without shoulder pain at baseline were eligible for the analyses. At follow‐up, 105 men (11.1%) and 145 women (20.5%) reported shoulder pain. For men, age (OR 3.3, 95% CI, 1.7–6.5 for ≥50 yr), working with arms above the shoulder (1.5; 1.0–2.3) and high perceived physical exertion (1.6; 1.0–2.5) increased the risk of incident shoulder pain. For women, the factors associated with incident shoulder pain were age (2.9; 1.5–5.8 for ≥50 yr), obesity (2.5; 1.4–4.5), temporary employment (2.1; 1.1–3.7), high perceived physical exertion (2.2; 1.4–3.5) and low decision latitude (1.6; 1.0–2.3). Conclusion Age was the strongest predictor of incident shoulder pain in both genders. BMI and biomechanical and psychosocial factors were also identified as risk factors, whereas no factor related to work organization remained in the final models.

“…Tendon injuries are common and affect a substantial portion of recreational and professional athletes and those in many occupations involving repetitive work [16,37,60,79,102]. Tendinopathy (often called tendinitis or tendinosis) is the most common tendon disorder [86,99].…”

Tendinopathy is a common clinical problem with athletes and in many occupational settings. Tendinopathy can occur in any tendon, often near its insertion or enthesis where there is an area of stress concentration, and is directly related to the volume of repetitive load to which the tendon is exposed. Recent studies indicate tendinopathy is more likely to occur in situations that increase the ''dose'' of load to the tendon enthesis -including increased activity, weight, advancing age, and genetic factors. The cells in tendinopathic tendon are rounder, more numerous, and show evidence of oxidative damage and more apoptosis. These cells also produce a matrix that is thicker and weaker with more water, more immature and cartilage-like matrix proteins, and less organization. There is now evidence of a population of regenerating stem cells within tendon. These studies suggest prevention of tendinopathy should be directed at reducing the volume of repetitive loads to below that which induces oxidative-induced apoptosis and cartilage-like genes. The management strategies might involve agents or cells that induce tendon stem cell proliferation, repair and restoration of matrix integrity.

“…We hypothesized that neck-shoulder complaints and occupational biomechanical shoulder exposures would each increase the risk. Table 1 presents the original studies I-IX (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) and their contribution to the MRD, which comprises 39 590 persons. A total of 265 persons participated in two studies, and one person participated in three; for these persons, we selected the questionnaire dataset that was most informative for the present study.…”

Risk of shoulder tendinitis in relation to shoulder loads in monotonous repetitive work

Abstract: The results indicate that workers with repetitive tasks have increased risk of shoulder tendinitis, which partially can be attributed to force requirements.
