3. 2. Work ability and exposure to work demands among workers with neck pain

   Författare :Stefan Oliv; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; work ability; prevention; neck pain; sikness absence; musculoskeletal disorders; exposure; Work demands;

   Sammanfattning : Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, which causes sickness absence and early retirement. Manual labor, awkward postures and repetitive work are commonly reported as causes for work-related neck disorders. Both neck pain and heavy physical work have been linked to lower levels of work ability. LÄS MER

4. 3. Physical workload and musculoskeletal symptoms in the human-horse work environment

   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Most work in horse stables is performed manually in much the same way as a century ago, with old-fashioned tools and equipment. It is one of the least mechanised sectors dealing with large animals, which often involves work in awkward postures and lifts of heavy loads. LÄS MER

5. 4. Musculoskeletal disorders in demanding computer work - with air traffic control as a model

   Författare :Inger Arvidsson; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prospective study; psychosocial work environment; neck-postures; technical measurements; physical exposure; computer mouse; VDU-work; diagnoses; Neck and upper limb disorders; physical examination;

   Sammanfattning : In computer work, musculoskeletal disorders are frequently reported, but the knowledge about causal relationships is limited. In air traffic control, female and male operators perform exactly the same computer work. LÄS MER

7. 5. Physical load in computerized office work : with special reference to work tasks and equipment

   Författare :Elisabeth Fernström; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The main purpose of the studies presented in this thesis wasto measure and quantify shoulder load in computerised officework. Shoulder load was studied during a whole working day andin different work tasks. Shoulder and arm load during keyboardwork and with different modes of physical computer interactionwas also studied.
