“…In professional dancers, knee extensor and fl exor low muscle strength levels have been associated with increased injury severity, expressed as the total time off dance training [27] . The injury recovery process may take longer in dancers with reduced muscular strength, because joints surrounded by weaker soft tissue are subject to more strain due to overexertion, and therefore take longer to recover from the cause of the injury [31,49] . Since dance training is not suffi cient enough to overload the musculoskeletal systems [12,26] , and considering the high injury rates found in dance [47] , the implementation of strength training could therefore be recommended as a preventive measure, at least for less strong dancers [24] .…”

“…Fatigue has been reported as a risk factor for MS pain among hotel cleaners -a worker group that engages in similar work tasks to homemakers (Kumar and Kumar 2008). In fact, fatigue may be a factor contributing to MS injury (Kumar 2001), while also arising from sustained experiences of MS pain (Strine andHootman 2007, Fjell et al 2008). The present study also corresponds with research on the relationship between self-rated health and MS pain.…”

Hard work at home: musculoskeletal pain among female homemakers

2011

This study explores the relationship between housework and musculoskeletal symptoms among homemakers, adjusting for social, demographic and economic factors. A cross-sectional survey was carried out on 435 women from Nabaa, a low-income community in Lebanon. In total, 77% of women reported having musculoskeletal pain in the previous 12 months. Both psychosocial and physical factors showed significant associations with musculoskeletal symptoms. Related psychosocial factors included feelings of stress associated with homemaking and homemakers' number of children and self-rated health. The physical factors associated with musculoskeletal pain were feeling fatigued at the end of a housework day, working long hours and working in awkward postures or frequently engaging in repetitive hand movements. Ergonomic stressors were also associated with pain in the back and upper and lower extremities. Women from this community engage in a large number of hours of housework that, alongside other factors, were associated with high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain.Practitioner Summary: This study contributes to the literature by studying women's housework activities in association with musculoskeletal pain. The role of women in homemaking activities is explored together with physical exposures leading to reported symptoms. This study adds a perspective of a Middle Eastern context to the literature of women's musculoskeletal health.

“…Dessa forma, as posturas desconfortáveis de trabalho, limitadas, assimétri-cas, repetidas e/ou prolongadas, os movimentos extremos e/ou repetitivos, e a utilização de força excessiva podem causar sobrecarga nos tecidos e exceder seus limites de estresse, causando lesões teciduais devido a esforços inadequados (8). Além dos fatores biomecânicos, existem os organizacionais (pausas, ritmos, sazonalidade da produção, estruturas de horários, métodos impróprios de trabalho, forma da produção), fatores individuais (gravidez, doen ças crônicas, sexo, hereditariedade, prática de esportes) e fatores psicossocias (satisfação no trabalho, relacionamento com os colegas de trabalho, ansiedade e expectativa individual) (9).…”

INTRODUÇÃO: Os distúrbios osteomusculares relacionadas ao trabalho são patologias muito frequentes no meio industrial, principalmente quando os trabalhadores se encontram expostos a fatores de risco como, por exemplo, posturas inadequadas, repetitividade, uso de força excessiva e a exposição a vibrações. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o risco de distúrbios osteomusculares nos punhos de trabalhadores de uma indústria de pescados da cidade de Recife (PE). METODOLOGIA: Utilizou-se metodologia qualitativa baseada no método Strain Index (SI), o qual resulta em uma pontuação numérica que aponta a probabilidade de desenvolvimento de distúrbios osteomusculares no punho. O índice é baseado na pontuação do SI, representado pela interação multiplicativa entre as variáveis da tarefa: intensidade do esforço, duração do esforço, frequência do esforço, postura da mão e punho, ritmo de trabalho e duração diária da tarefa. RESULTADOS: O valor encontrado foi de SI = 9 para ambos os punhos, classificando-o como uma atividade com alto risco para o desenvolvimento de distúrbios osteomusculares nos punhos dos trabalhadores. CONCLUSÃO: A indicação da presença dos riscos desses distúrbios nos punhos durante a realização da atividade de trabalho foi determinada pela pontuação do SI, sugerindo a necessidade de intervenção ergonômica.
