  2. 1. Cost-Efficient Designs for Assessing Work-Related Biomechanical Exposures

    Author : Mahmoud Rezagholi; Svend Erik Mathiassen; Apostolos Bantekas; Eva Vingård; Göran Hägg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : measurement strategy; postural loads; statistical performance; optimization; economic evaluation; resource allocation; input costs; cost function; returns to scale; elasticity; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; Arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Abstract : Work-related disorders due to biomechanical exposures have been subject to extensive research. Studies addressing these exposures have, however, paid limited attention to an efficient use of resources in exposure assessment. The present thesis investigates cost-efficient procedures for assessment of work-related biomechanical exposures, i.e. READ MORE

    Abstract : Astronauts suffer degradation of postural muscles and weight-bearing bones during long-duration spaceflight. Resistance exercise is used as a primary countermeasure against these degradations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Physical workload in surgery : from risk assessments to interventions

    Author : Xuelong Fan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Surgeons often suffer from work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), with the neck, shoulders, and low back being the most affected body sites. Among other factors, the high physical workload has been recognized as a major risk factor contributing to the high occurrence of WMSDs. READ MORE

  6. 4. Ergonomic evaluation of technology change at work and its effect on health

    Author : Montakarn Chaikumarn; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk psykologi; Engineering Psychology;

    Abstract : The change at work in the context of technology change has affected human’s health in relation to their working condition, attitude, and MSDs risk factors. These changes were included: adopting new tools, work concept work environments, and work system. READ MORE
