Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Postural load and back pain of workers in the manufacturing of prefabricated concrete elements

Notas: Sumario: In a population of male workers in a concrete manufacturing plant (n=114), the occurrence of back pain was studied in relation to a control group of maintenance engineers (n=52). Postural load of workers in both plants were measured using the Ovako Working posture Analysis System. The results of this study also suggest that exposure to whole-body vibration, due to operating vibrotables, is a second risk factor for back painRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 34, nº 7, July 1991 ; p. 909-918Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Biomecánica Columna vertebral Fuerza muscular Contracciones musculares Fisiología Postura Vibraciones Lesiones musculares Epidemiología Casos prácticos Manufacturas Holanda Otros autores: Govaert, Guido
