Abstract:
This paper focuses on information-driven engineering, where information is gathered by means of innovation for people and by the people. This case study was carried out on innovation of a manual wheelchair. Through active participation of person with disability (direct users) and their carers (indirect user), knowledge awareness of the early design was increased. Computer aided engineering tools were used for the development of virtual prototype (VP) and after further feedback from direct and indirect users design was adjusted. Additionally, Physical prototype was built to practically demonstrate the new features to users and finally the prototype was readjusted to bridge user requirement even more. This innovation process identifies additional improvement aspects and contributes beyond fundamental personal needs and increases well being.

Abstract:
Background: Musculoskeletal injuries, notably lower back injuries, are major occupational health problems among nurses. These injuries occur mainly due to incorrect use of body mechanics upon handling, lifting, and transfer of patients. It is the leading cause of occupational disability and is associated with increased healthcare costs. Reducing these injuries can lead to a significant reduction in healthcare costs.Purpose: This integrative literature review aims to examine the impacts of manual handling and lifting devices on the risk of back pain among hospital nurses.Methods: This study uses an integrative literature review design. Proquest, Science Direct, MEDLINE, and CINAHL were searched comprehensively. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram was used to check the number of publications that were identified and screened for eligibility, and the number of publications excluded and reasons for exclusion. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) and the Centre for Evidence-Based Management critical appraisal checklist for a cross-sectional study (CEBM) were used to appraise the quality of selected articles.Results: Fifteen studies were found to highlight the importance of manual handling training programs and the consistent use of lifting devices in the prevention of low back pain. Ergonomics training, proper body mechanics and posture, use of body slings, workplace characteristics, availability of equipments and complexity of work, lost work days including nurses’ knowledge, experience, attitude and compliance are essential factors that impacts back pain.Conclusion: Manual handling training programs and the use of patient lifting equipment are effective in preventing lower back pain among nurses.

Abstract:
How in-home disability support workers adapt what they learn in manual handling classroom training sessions to the circumstances of their work (i.e., their clients’ homes), is central to their own safety and that of their clients. In the in-home work setting there is no “expert” for newly trained workers to closely observe or on whom to model their work practice. A particular concern, therefore, is the degree of transfer or adaptability from classroom training sessions that may assist these workers to enact safe practices, as their musculoskeletal injuries continue to occur at unacceptably high rates. Consequently, understanding how best to support these workers initially learn their occupational practice may offer considerable procedural benefits across the entire arena of working well and safely. Contemporary accounts of learning emphasise the importance of immediate social partners such as teachers and co-workers. Yet, much of our learning for work occurs without such experts. So, we need better understandings of how individuals learn from different educational experiences and adapt what they learn to their practice, and also how this learning occurs in the absence of expert guidance. A case study approach, comprising two separate practical studies, was adopted for this inquiry, which aimed to explore the personal, situational and instructional bases for realising effective learning in the absence of expert guidance. Study A comprised an exploratory investigation in which a community service organisation’s existing manual handling training situation was appraised by way of semi-structured interviews and direct observation of support workers, and a trajectory for learning in situations of relative social isolation was proposed. Study B comprised an intervention, where the proposed trajectory was implemented for a group of new support workers learning manual handling. The effectiveness of this program was appraised, again through semi-structured interviews and direct observation. A reconciliation of both studies led to conclusions about the best ways that learning in relative social isolation may progress.

Abstract:
La lombalgie est un problème majeur de santé publique et de santé au travail dans les pays industrialisés. La chronicité de la lombalgie et l’incapacité qui en découle sont potentiellement sources d’altération de la qualité de vie, de rupture des parcours professionnels, voire de désinsertion socioprofessionnelle. La première partie de ce travail situe la problématique de la pathologie rachidienne en lien avec l’activité professionnelle et de sa reconnaissance sociale. L’évolution vers la chronicité de la lombalgie ainsi que la restriction de participation sociale et professionnelle s’inscrivent dans un modèle dynamique faisant intervenir des facteurs liés à l’individu, au système de soins et de prévention, au travail, et au système de compensation financière. La nécessité de l’intégration de tous ces éléments pour la prise en charge médicale et la surveillance médico-professionnelle des travailleurs lombalgiques est développée à travers l’exposé des recommandations de bonne pratique. Les recommandations pour la visite de pré-reprise soulignent notamment l’intérêt de la coordination des acteurs médicaux, sociaux et du travail pour le retour/maintien en emploi et la lutte contre la désinsertion professionnelle des travailleurs lombalgiques. Enfin, les stratégies proposées aux travailleurs lombalgiques qui ont montré leur efficacité associent un réentraînement physique intensif, une approche cognitivo-comportementale, une action en milieu de travail et la coordination des acteurs du retour au travail. Cependant, la mise en place de ces interventions complexes présente un certain nombre de limites et notre équipe tente de développer des stratégies hiérarchisées et plus largement applicables
Low back pain is a major public and occupational health issue in industrialized countries. Chronic low back pain and resulting disability are potential sources of impaired quality of life, breaking career and even socio-professional exclusion. The first part of this work places the issue of the back intervertebral disc disease related to work and its social recognition.The low back pain chronicity and the social and professional restriction of participation are part of a dynamic model involving factors related to the individual, to the prevention and care system, to work, and to the financial compensation system. The need for integration of all these elements for medical care, prevention and medical and occupational surveillance of low back pain workers is developed through the presentation of recommendations for good practice. Recommendations for pre-return-to-work medical examination especially emphasize the benefit of coordinating medical, social and occupational actors for the return to / retention at work and the fight against occupational exclusion of low back pain workers. Finally, the offered to low back pain workers strategies which have shown their effectiveness in reducing the duration of sick leave combine an intensive physical rehabilitation, a cognitive-behavioral approach, a workplace intervention and the coordination of return to work actors. However, the implementation of these complex interventions has a great number of limitations

Abstract:
This chapter deals mainly with common acute and chronic neurological problems, particularly as they affect employees and job applicants. The complications of occupational exposure to neurotoxins and putative neurotoxins will also be covered in so far as they relate to the fitness of an exposed employee to continue working. In addition to a few well-known and common conditions, many uncommon but distinct neurological disorders may present at work or affect work capacity. Fitness for work in these disorders will be determined by the person’s functional abilities, any comorbid illness, the efficacy or side effects of the treatment, and psychological and social factors, rather than by the precise diagnosis. This will also need to be put into the context of the job in question, as the basic requirements for a manual labouring job may be completely different from something more intellectually demanding. Indeed, even an apparently precise diagnostic label such as multiple sclerosis (MS) can encompass a complete spectrum of disability, from someone who is entirely asymptomatic to another who is totally incapacitated. Similarly, the job title ‘production operative’ may be applied to someone who is sedentary or who undertakes heavy manual handling. Furthermore, reports by general practitioners, neurologists, or neurosurgeons may describe the symptoms, signs, and investigations in detail, but without analysing functional abilities. These colleagues may also fail to appreciate the workplace hazards, the responsibilities of the employer, or what scope exists for adaptations to the job or workplace.

Abstract:
Back pain has been described as one of the most common and significant musculoskeletal problems in the United States leading to substantial amounts of morbidity, disability and economic loss. Among people under 45 years of age, low back disorders (LBDs) are the leading cause of activity limitation and affects up to 47% of workers with physically demanding jobs. Low back disorders are associated with occupational lifting. Retrospective studies of industrial injuries have identified manual material handling (MMH) as the most common cause of LBD. Disc degeneration has also been associated with physical work. Thus, loading due to lifting and manual material handling is believed to be a significant factor in the development of occupationally related LBDs.

Abstract:
Occupational safety and health have a considerable value for employees and employers in Latvia. Despite the fact that modern production systems involve highly specialized and complex machinery, there are many human activities including manual tasks that have not been automated due to flexibility requirements. Physical overloading is caused, for example, by lifting or pushing heavy objects, daily use of vibratory tools or prolonged work while bending over. Insufficient physical load (lack of activities) is caused, for example, by prolonged sedentary work without periodic breaks for movement. The importance of psycho-emotional factors, including stress at work, should also be taken into account here. Musculoskeletal complaints are responsible for one-third of the reported cases of absenteeism and disability. Therefore, physical load forms the core of the problem, and is one of the main factors hindering sustained healthy, productive work, and wellbeing. This calls for the development of practical exposure assessment tools, particularly for health and safety practitioners, to quickly assess an exposure to ergonomic risks. The knowledge of the risk and corresponding risk assessment methods are aim of investigation and provide basis for the formulation and implementation of preventive measures. The road building workers, textile sewers and cutters, as well as fire-fighters-rescuers, who are employed in a wide range of tasks, were used as an example of ergonomic risk analysis.Several tools for description and assessment of ergonomic risks applying subjective, mathematical and experimental (objective) methods were used. The chosen tools and technique are: Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ-E); KIM (exposure scores for pushing/pulling, carrying), QEC (exposure levels for main body regions), OWAS (time sampling for body postures and force), RULA (categorization of upper limb postures and force with action levels), MAC (manual handling assessment charts), NIOSH (lifting equations, biomechanical load limits), SI (the strain index), workload energy expenditure (WEE), heart rate monitoring (HRM), myotonometry (MYO), NASA-TLX (mental and physical workload interaction/task load index), WAI (work ability index). The chosen methods have been categorized under four main headings: 1) self-reports from workers, 2) observation methods, 3) mathematical methods, 4) direct measurement of exposure variables at work.Analysing these methods it was established that KIM, QEC, NIOSH, OWAS, WAI and HRM are more suitable for quick assessment of the ergonomic risks at work, while the RULA, WEE and MYO are more complicated for quick assessment. It was found that employee's subjective point of view on workload does not always coincide with the objective measurement results. It was concluded that the physical load assessment methods, analysed in this study, are successfully introduced in Latvia, and preventive measures, such as medical hypnotherapy, including cognitive hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis training sessions, are effective methods to decrease composite chronic pain intensity, as well as to decrease psychogenic tension and muscle fatigue, and to increase the life quality.
