“…Some investigators characterized repetition using quantitative, production-dependent factors such as cycle time [Silverstein et al, 1986] or number of pieces handled [Kuorinka and Koskinen, 1979]. Others relied on subjective assessments, such as observation of repetitive activity [e.g., Luopajarvi et al, 1979;Punnett et al, 1985;Wieslander et al, 1989].…”

“…[24]. Portanto, de acordo com a literatura [7,9,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], os resultados obtidos neste estudo apontam que a atividade realizada pelos cortadores de cana tem potencial para causar dores no ombro e no pescoço [17], fadiga muscular rápida [18,19] e gerar uma diminuição do fluxo sanguíneo no músculo supraespinhal [21]. Quanto ao movimento de abdução do ombro, a simulação mostrou que a amplitude permanece acima de 90 graus por mais da metade do tempo total do movimento e, de acordo com Hagberg [22,23], isso pode causar fadiga muscular local em menos de um minuto, com sintomas no pescoço e nos ombros,como dores e desconforto [24,26,27].…”

“…Essas medidas contribuíram para o aumento da quantidade média de cana-de-açúcar cortada por cada trabalhador durante um dia de trabalho, de três toneladas na década de 1950, para 12 toneladas atualmente [2,4,9]. É, portanto, fundamental, entender a dinâmica dos movimentos realizados pelos trabalhadores durante a jornada de trabalho [25,29].…”

Como se pode observar na Tabela 2, os ângulos de flexão e abdução na simulação do movimento ficam acima do descrito como ideal na literatura [7] em quase 100% do tempo das coletas realizadas.…”

ABSTRACT AIMS:To evaluate whether the amplitude angles of shoulder flexion and abduction, in the movements performed during a simulation of the sugarcane cutting task, exceed the limits considered safe. METHODS: Non-randomized controlled simulations of the movement of sugarcane cutting were performed in volunteers recruited among university students. Inclusion criteria were (a) male sex; (b) age between 21 and 40 years; (c) right handed; (d) without orthopedic and/or neurological impairment; (e) physical characteristics and a history of work activities similar to that of sugarcane cutters; (f) performing aerobic physical activity at least three times a week in the last six months. The exclusion criteria were (a) presence of pain during the tests; and (b) inability to perform the movement. The study was carried out in the laboratory of occupational biomechanics of the Center for Study and Research in Ergonomics of the School of Science and Technology of the State University of São Paulo. The kinematic data were collected by the Vicon ® Three-Dimensional Movement Analysis System. The movements of flexion and abduction of the right shoulder were measured and classified. The parameters used as reference to evaluate the results were those published by the Ministry of Health of Brazil, which synthesizes the safe limits of amplitude of these movements. RESULTS: Ten subjects were evaluated, with a mean age of 24.5±4.78 years. A total of 39 samples obtained with the movement repetitions were analyzed during an average period of 30 seconds. The angle of shoulder in flexion remained above 30 degrees during 98.18% of the task execution time, above 45 degrees during 88.84%, above 60 degrees during 42.19% and above 90 degrees during 7.72% of the time. The abduction angle remained above 60 degrees throughout all the time and above 90 degrees during 57.59% of the time. In the amplitude of movement spikes, abduction apertures with angles greater than 100 degrees were observed. CONCLUSIONS: During most of the time of the experiments that simulated the movement of sugarcane cutting, the flexion and abduction angles of the shoulder were above those considered safe, indicating that the activity performed by sugarcane cutters has a strong potential to cause damage to the shoulder joint.

Evaluation and management of chronic work-related musculoskeletal disorders of the distal upper extremity

et al. 2000

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This clinical review will describe the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and management of the following work‐related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) of the distal upper extremity: deQuervain's disease, extensor and flexor forearm tendinitis/tendinosis, lateral and medial epicondylitis, cubital tunnel syndrome, and hand‐arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). These conditions were selected for review either because they were among the most common WMSDs among patients attending the New York State Occupational Health Clinics (NYSOHC) network, or because there is strong evidence for work‐relatedness in the clinical literature. Work‐related carpal tunnel syndrome is discussed in an accompanying paper. In an attempt to provide evidence‐based treatment recommendations, literature searches on the treatment of each condition were conducted via Medline for the years 1985–1999. There was a dearth of studies evaluating the efficacy of specific clinical treatments and ergonomic interventions for WMSDs. Therefore, many of the treatment recommendations presented here are based on a consensus of experienced public health‐oriented occupational medicine physicians from the NYSOHC network after review of the pertinent literature. A summary table of the clinical features of the disorders is presented as a reference resource. Am. J. Ind. Med. 37:75–93, 2000. © 2000 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
