“…This case was approved because they worked stressing the knees while squatting and kneeling. There was no absolute evidence that the squatting and kneeling position had a direct correlation with the knee joint tears; however, reports of knee pain coming from kneeling (18) and squatting are more common in people working in the ship building industry (19, 20). Many of these individuals show degenerative arthritis and knee joint cartilages tear relationships, with a squatting and kneeling position causing injury to the meniscus (21-23).…”

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) can be compensated through the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act. We looked at the characteristics of WMSDs in worker's compensation records and the epidemiological investigation reports from the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute (OSHRI). Based on the records of compensation, the number of cases for WMSDs decreased from 4,532 in 2003 to 1,954 in 2007. However the proportion of WMSDs among the total approved occupational diseases increased from 49.6% in 2003 to 76.5% in 2007, and the total cost of WMSDs increased from 105.3 billion won in 2004 to 163.3 billion won in 2007. The approval rate of WMSDs by the OSHRI accounted for 65.6%. Ergonomic and clinical characteristics were associated with the approval rate; however, the degenerative changes had a minimal affect. This result was in discordance between OSHRI and the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service. We presumed that there were perceptional gaps in work-relatedness interpretation that resulted from the inequality of information in ergonomic analyses. We propose to introduce ergonomic analysis to unapproved WMSDs cases and discuss those results among experts that will be helpful to form a consensus among diverse groups.

“…The studies included were initially divided according to study design, and the longitudinal studies were evaluated for quality by adapting the Downs and Black checklist for non-randomized studies, using only the 13 items relating to assessment of cohort studies. Adaptation of the Downs and Black instrument has already been used in other reviews in order to identify relevant methodological features of observational studies (15,16,17).…”

Disability after stroke: a systematic review

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction Stroke is the most common cause of disability in Western countries, yet there is no consensus in the literature on how to measure and describe disability from stroke. Objective To conduct a systematic literature review on disability in stroke survivors. Method Observational studies published in the PubMed, LILACS and SciELO online databases were selected, to evaluate disability in adults and in the elderly after stroke in the period 2002–2012. The Downs and Black checklist for non-randomized studies was used to assess the quality of the articles. Results 212 articles were found from which 16 were selected to compose the study. The mean age of participants was 67 years, and disability affected 24% to 49% of the population evaluated. With regard to measurement instruments, 31% of the studies analyzed presented results of disability by means of the modified Rankin Scale; 19% by means of the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health; 19% by means of Katz’ Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living; 12.5% by means of the London Handicap Scale; 12.5 % by means of the Barthel Index; and 6.25% by means of the Functional Independence Measure. Conclusion Literature is not uniform as regards means of measuring disability after stroke, but considering the preference of articles in assessing physical performance in activities of daily living, it can be concluded that a quarter to half of the population that survives stroke has some degree of disability.

“…9 Research points to an increased risk of OA and its associated disability and economic burden with increased age. 10-14 Arthritis continues to be the most common cause of disability among adults with over 8.5 million US adults reporting an arthritis-related disability. 15 Of over 4 million people with doctor-diagnosed arthritis, over 40% (19 million) reported some limitations in their usual activities due to their arthritis.…”

Abstract:The current study was conducted by performing secondary analysis of data drawn from a study of sustained work indicators of older farmers. The primary outcome variable was the reported occurrence or non-occurrence of injuries because of farm work in the past year. There were three explanatory variables of interest: (1) whether respondents reported ever having been diagnosed with arthritis/rheumatism by a medical doctor; (2) whether participants reported having mobility problems; and (3) a farm task injury risk index. Additional explanatory variables included the estimated number of days spent on farming activities in the past year, as well as demographic characteristics such as age, sex, and race. Institutional review board approvals were obtained for the original study prior to data collection, and for the current study prior to secondary analysis of data. Descriptive statistics were calculated for the outcome and explanatory variables. Initial multivariable longitudinal models for the occurrence of injuries were fitted with the explanatory variables. Odds ratios for the effects of interest were calculated using the final models. A longitudinal model was fitted using data in waves 1, 3, and 5, with a farm task injury risk index as outcome variable and wave, sex, age, race, and estimated number of days spent on farming activities in the past year as explanatory variables for exploration of the relationship between the farm task injury risk index and these variables. In this group of older farmers, aging was protective for injury, and was associated with decreased farm task injury risk index. Arthritis/rheumatism was associated in our study with occurrence of injury because of farm work across all four waves. Our results indicated that farmers with mobility problems were twice as likely to experience injuries because of farm work compared to farmers with no mobility problems. Increased farm task injury risk index was associated with a 40% increase in odds for the occurrence of injury due to farm work. In this study of older farmers, the type of work, and not the amount of work was significantly associated with injury risk. Implications for future studies of farm injury include the need for nurse researchers and others to incorporate objective validated measures of mobility and health care provider diagnoses of arthritis, and arthritis type. Nurse researchers should proceed with ongoing evaluation of the farm task injury risk index to determine its validity, reliability, and usefulness as a predictor of farm injuries. In the practice setting, nurses may apply findings from this study to provide injury prevention teaching to older farmers and their families. For example, discussions of the more risky farm tasks, injury prevention strategies, and treatment modalities including those that promote improved mobility should be targeted to older farmers with arthritis and actual or potential mobility issues. Ultimately, these nursing research and practice efforts may lead to preservation of function, and decreas...
