Filter by:Rehabilitation for work-related musculoskeletal disorders involves physical, behavioral, psychological treatment and counseling on how to deal with pain and disability. The study aims to evaluate the profile and indicators on the perception of health, pain intensity, and work ability (WA) of disability with work-related chronic musculoskeletal disease, assisted in a multidisciplinary program of worker health care.
The aim is to describe physical activity and blood pressure during work and leisure time among Swedish ambulance personnel, and to relate this to work- and lifestyle factors.
Evaluation of the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospital staff in the French Nouvelle Aquitaine area, through a longitudinal study with repeated self-administered psychologic scales
The purpose of the study is to test the feasibility of the monitoring of physiological parameters during operations of industrial cleaning
There is evidence showing that musculoskeletal problems in the cervical and thoracic region are common among academicians and with it, compared to other musculoskeletal pain the pattern and physical risk factors for neck pain was at the highest percentage. One of the most common postural disorders in the neck and shoulder girdle occurs when the position of the head is displaced to forward relation to the point of support, which is called forward head posture (FHP). The aim of the present study is to investigate factors affecting neck posture in academicians with non-specific neck pain. Investigators investigated whether there is a correlation between craniovertebral angle (CVA) and joint position sense, deep cervical muscle strength and endurance in academicians with chronic non-specific neck pain.
Each year about 10.000 patients are referred due to suspected work-related disorders to the Danish departments of occupational medicine. In Denmark and internationally there is a lack of follow-up studies investigating the long-term prognosis of employees with work-related disorders. To facilitate long-term prognostic studies for work-related conditions a Danish Occupational Medicine Cohort has been established through the Danish population registers.
Safety & Health through Integrated, Facilitated Teams (SHIFT) is an intervention study to enhance employee health, safety, and well-being in public sector healthcare institutions in New England. The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of an adapted form of the Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW) Healthy Workplace Participatory Program (HWPP) for strengthening cohesiveness, engagement, and impact of pre-existing joint labor-management health and safety committees. The sites are enrolled in three pairs, matched by agency and type of services. For each pair of sites, one will be randomly selected for immediate HWPP coaching. The paired organization will serve as a control until the study mid-point, at which time all sites will be coached. Process evaluations will examine barriers to and facilitators of program uptake, reach, and effectiveness. Survey data and injury records will be examined in intervention and control groups to describe the frequencies of workplace and non-occupational exposures of selected health outcomes.
Women are highly underrepresented in the construction skilled trades. In addition to facing the industry's well-known physical risks, women are subjected to discrimination, harassment, and skills under-utilization. As a result, tradeswomen have increased risk for injury, stress-related health effects, and high attrition rates from apprenticeship programs, thus perpetuating their minority status. Mentoring is a well-established technique for learning technical and personal navigation skills in new or challenging social environments. The investigators propose development and dissemination of a mentorship program through local unions of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART), and evaluating its success in reducing women's injury and work stress, while improving retention.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the splint and rigid taping on the muscle activation of the upper trapezius muscle during computer typing tasks in office workers. The study will be conducted on 10 healthy office workers. The study subjects will be asked to type on a computer for 5 minutes (1) without splint or taping, (2) with a splint and (3) with rigid taping which limits the wrist flexion at the dominant side. The upper trapezius muscle activation will be recorded by surface EMG during the task. The mean values will be normalized according to Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC) and %MVIC values.
Development and validation of a multi-factor and self-perceived risk assessment questionnaire, specifically referred to WMSDs-related pain and risk factors
