    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

  3. 7. New aspects of physical work load as a risk factor for musculoskeletal disorders

    Författare :Marketta Häkkänen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :musculoskeletal disorder; upper limb; neck; shoulder; low back; physical work load; risk factor; job experience; trigger; interview; intervention; exposure assessment;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT This study investigated new aspects of physical load factors as risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders among industrial employees. The following issues were in focus: the effect of physical work load and job experience on morbidity from musculoskeletal disorders, the incidence rates and induction times for these disorders, and the triggering factors for incident low back pain.

  4. 8. Beyond the Force: Redefining load exposure assessments of nutrunners for improved power tool ergonomics

    Författare :Ava Mazaheri; Linda Rose; Mikael Forsman; Romain Haettel; Joel Cort; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Power Tools; Nutrunners; Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders; Risk Assessment; Load Exposure; Assembly Work; Monteringsverktyg; Mutterdragare; Arbetsrelaterade Muskuloskeletala Besvär; Riskbedömning; Belastningsexponering; Monteringsarbete; Teknik och hälsa; Technology and Health;

    Sammanfattning : Reaction force exposure from handheld tightening tools (also known as nutrunners) constitutes an acknowledged contributor to musculoskeletal disorders among assembly operators, and are today not regulated by explicit limits. The research presented in this thesis aimed at contributing to the development of recommended exposure limits for, and assessments of, reaction loads from handheld right-angle and pistol-grip tightening tools.

    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; physical work load; age; gender; muscle strength; aerobic power; sensory threshold; epidemiology; questionnaire; reproducibility; validity; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : This investigation aimed at a description of different aspects of physical loads during a 24 year follow-up (1970-1993) in 484 men and women born between 1935 and 1952, in relation to different aspects of physical performance, as measured at follow-up. The subjects were originally recruited in 1969 from the Stockholm county generalpopulation. LÄS MER
