Abstract:

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a major source of lost productivity and revenue in the workplace and disability in workers. There is strong evidence for a relationship between physical risk factors, such as repetitive motions and excessive force, and the development of WMSDs; yet there are unexplained discrepancies in determining which workers are more at risk. Researchers hypothesize that non-physical factors in the workplace, or psychosocial factors, may contribute to the development of WMSDs. The following study examined the effects of two psychosocial factors, mental wor

Abstract:

When implementing a managed healthcare intervention among a working population, evidence-based healthcare is critical. In the current study, the change of work posture of sewing-machine operators from seated to stand-up (the intervention) was managed within a physiotherapy and ergonomics programme (programme) in Johnson Controls Automotive S.A. (Pty) Ltd (company) without local evidence to guide the postural transition. The management of the intervention, implemented over a period of 4.5 years, presented the opportunity for a retrospective longitudinal study. The study determined the impact of

Abstract:

The goal of this thesis was to examine a correlation between musculoskeletal injuries in the upper extremity and frequent sign language usage through the exploration of the pathophysiology associated with such injuries and the anatomy of the affected structures. Due to the nature of handshapes and movement of arms employed by American Sign Language (ASL) users, this population is prone to a greater prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries involving the soft tissue of the upper extremity. The majority of the literature available today surrounding this issue exclusively examines sign language inte

Abstract:

Musculoskeletal Injuries are the most common cause of severe long-term pain and physical disability. Push-Ups and Pull-Ups are effective dynamic exercises that mimic high level function activities, such as those used in the military. The model developed allows for researchers to analyze the forces and moments associated with the shoulder, elbow and wrist, to further assess function in military personnel, athletes and the active population. The model also follows the guidelines set forth by the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB).

RSI also has significant implications for organisations in terms of lost productivity, drops in work quality and costly compensation claims. Althoug

Abstract:

Most manual wheelchair users will experience upper extremity injury and pain during their lifetime, which can be partly attributed to the high load requirements, repetitive motions and extreme joint postures required during wheelchair propulsion. Recent efforts have attempted to determine how different propulsion techniques influence upper extremity demand using broad measures of demand (e.g., metabolic cost). However studies using more specific measures (e.g., muscle stress), have greater potential to determine how altering propulsion technique influences demand. The goal of this research was

Abstract:

To achieve expressive musical results in violin bowing, performers access wide ranges of combined musical tone loudness and duration variables. By comparison, allowable mechanical variability in bow stroke execution may be limited. Such constraints on string bowing variability similarly might limit variability of bowing limb movement. Constrained variability may carry risk of upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore if musical and/or bowing-execution variables influence bowing limb movement variability, they may in turn influence risk of cumulative injury in the player. In two e

Abstract:

The high demands of manual wheelchair propulsion put users at risk of additional pain and injury that can lead to further reductions in independence and quality of life. Seat position is an adjustable parameter that has been shown to influence propulsion biomechanics. As a result, a number of studies have attempted to optimize this position. However, due to complexities in quantifying upper extremity demand, seat position guidelines are often based on studies aimed at reducing indirect quantities (e.g., cadence, handrim forces, joint ranges of motion and muscle excitation levels) rather than m

Although there are lots of studies on the musculoskeletal of computer users abroad, but few studies about Neck /Shoulder and Upper limb disorders among computer users in Taiwan. Therefore, the objective of this cross-sectional study was to examine the evidence that associates Neck/Shoulder and Upper limb musculoskeletal disorders of computer users with work-related factors.

However, current literature contains insufficient information addressing the factors associated with outcome improvement in individules with lower extremity musculoskeletal disorders (LE-MSD). Purpose: 1) To compare pain and outcome improvement between the land-based or aquatic physical therapy 2) To explore factors associated with outcome improvement in patients with LE-MSD. M
