The aim was to examine whether texting on a mobile phone is risk factor for musculoskeletal disorders in the neck and upper extremities population of young adults. In longitudinal population-based cohort study with Swedish adults (aged 20–24 years) data were collected via web-based questionnaire at baseline (n = 7092) after one five years. Cross-sectional associations found between text messaging reported ongoing symptoms (odds ratios, ORs 1.3–2.0). Among symptom-free prospective only new...
Summary. Physical training, including strength training of the lower extremities, was performed three times per week for 12 weeks by twelve 69–74‐year‐old men with no cardiovascular or locomotor symptoms. Only body weight used as resistance. The considered to be moderately intense this age‐group. After heart rate significantly at submaximal loads, demonstrating a conditioning effect programme. static and dynamic (isokinetic) muscle in quadriceps increased training. Muscle biopsies were...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in technique between young adults with and without musculoskeletal symptoms when using a mobile phone for texting muscle activity kinematics different techniques. A total 56 performed standardised task on phone. Their techniques were registered an observation protocol. muscular six muscles the right forearm/hand both shoulders by surface electromyography thumb abduction/adduction flexion/extension biaxial...
This study aimed to compare thumb kinematics and upper limb muscle activity, the influence of hand size, when texting on a keypad smartphone touchscreen smartphone. Furthermore, compared exertion, discomfort, performance two phones. The were tracked using 3D motion analysis system activity was registered in six muscles surface electromyography 19 participants. When phone flexion (p = 0.008) flexion/extension range smaller 0.02), average less internally rotated (50th 90th percentile) forearm...
The risk of developing vibration white fingers and neurosensory symptoms increases with the duration intensity exposure. aim this study was to investigate (VWF), musculoskeletal disorders among workers exposed transient high frequency vibrations.The included 38 from a loader assembly plant in Sweden (30 males 8 females). All participants answered questionnaires had structured interview about work medical history. A following examination determination temperature perception thresholds neck,...

A follow-up study of 30 patients operated on for injuries was performed with measurements maximal isometric isokinetic (angular velocity 30, 42, 120°/s) torque extension muscle biopsy from vastus lateralis. The values the side were reduced in spite resumed physical activities athletic training. Isokinetic training,...
The aim of this report was to give ergonomic recommendations in order prevent musculoskeletal symptoms/disorders among young people due intensive texting on mobile phones. In a study 56 Swedish adults (19-25 years, 41 with symptoms neck and/or upper extremities and 15 without symptoms) registration thumb movements electrogoniometry, muscle activity electromyography observation technique were conducted during results showed differences physical load between the group symptoms. There also...
The aim of this study was to investigate which physical and psychosocial work demands were associated with excellent ability in individuals neck pain, age sex differences these associations.The sample obtained from the Statistics Sweden cross-sectional Work Environment survey consisted workers who reported pain after (N = 3,212).The findings showed an association between self-reported low exposure lifting, twisted posture, working hands shoulder level or higher, leaning forward without...
A new health surveillance protocol for work-related upper-extremity musculoskeletal disorders has been validated by comparing the results with a reference protocol. The studied protocol, Health Surveillance in Adverse Ergonomics Conditions (HECO), is version of modified application Occupational Service (OHS). HECO contains both screening part and diagnosing part. Sixty-three employees were examined. did not miss any diagnosis found when using but comparison to considerable time savings could...
The aim of this randomized controlled study was to explore if an intervention with biofeedback training in combination ergonomic discussions, could improve working technique and work postures, reduce pain intensity perceived exertion young adult computer users ongoing neck upper extremity symptoms. 39 participants were divided into group a control group. consisted 4 sessions during three-month period. Working technique, rated exertion, intensity, duration use measured at baseline follow ups...
Accessible summary All patients cared for in Forensic Psychiatric Care (FPC) have some kind of psychiatric disorder and most them committed one or more criminal acts. In addition, several the alcohol drug problems. During stay institutional FPC, part rehabilitation program is to prepare patient non‐institutional FPC. However, fail with rehabilitation. This study focuses important aspects that influence patients' ability manage their through admission viewed from different caregivers'...
Abstract Purpose The development of vascular and neurosensory findings were studied in two groups long-term exposed quarry foundry workers with different vibration exposures, working conditions work tasks. Methods study included 10 (mean age 43 yrs., mean exposure time 16 yrs.) 15 (35 yrs.; 11 at plants Sweden. All participants completed a basic questionnaire passed medical examination including number tests, e.g. the determination (VPT) temperature (TPT) perception thresholds as well...
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to investigate what exposure work demands, physical and psychosocial, is associated with lower levels sickness absence among workers neck or upper back pain in different groups, by age, gender, duration ability score. Methods This a prospective 4567 pain. Data on pain, demand were obtained from the Swedish Work Environment survey over 3–year period (2009–2013). Register data absence, 1 year after each conducted, health insurance database....
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether workplace interventions are effective in reducing sickness absence persons with work-related neck and upper extremity disorders disorder improvement after intervention reduces absence. Methods: This a prospective cohort workers pain or disorders. Data were obtained from the Swedish "Work-related disorders" "Work environment" surveys. Register data on sickness-absence 1 year surveys made health insurance database. Results: A...
