“…Some intervention researches have reported important reductions in biomechanical anxiety, musculoskeletal pain, and injury rates when nurses used biomechanical equipment. Taking away manual handling activities and supporting the use of lifting device have become a key factor of safe patient handling policies internationally [14,18,31,42,47]. For the level of lift use, important interactions were found for work-related shoulder pain and any neck pain.…”

Nurses exposure many risk factors in the hospital setting. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is a common health problem between work related disabilities and injuries in nurses. The aim of this review was to examine the prevalence of MSDs in nurses and also summarize risk factors, outcomes, solutions. An electronic search was conducted in Pub Med in January 2017. Publications in the last ten years were researched using the key words: "Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders" and "Nurses". The initial electronic search identified 111 papers. Some articles were excluded since they were not related to our study topic (7 articles were review, 15 of them were related to the roles of nurses in some musculoskeletal disorders, 14 articles were about nurses who working outside the hospital or new graduated/student, 28 articles addressed work related other health problems, 3 of them were related to hospital ergonomics and risk factors and 7 articles were interventions studies). Three papers were not reached to full text or abstract. The total number of remaining articles was 34 and all of them were included the study. It was considered that reported musculoskeletal disorders in nurses were limited to the past 12 months. It had been found that the prevalence of MSDs varied between 33.0% and 88.0%. The most commonly affected body regions were lower back, shoulder, neck, knees, wrists/hands. Lower back pain complaints were found to vary between 49.0% and 84.0%. The findings indicated that the work related musculoskeletal disorders associated with cumulative trauma and repetitive tasks included: lifting, transferring or repositioning, prolonged standing and also awkward postures (stooping, bending and reaching). These work-related health problems in nurses were significantly associated with age, gender, body mass index, ward, shift working and working in a hospital. Studies showed that musculoskeletal disorders were most seen among the operation room nurses and intensive care nurses. Also, MSDs were found to be the main causes of absenteeism, demanding a change of duty or job and visiting a physician. The MSDs was more prevalent occupational health problem among nurses. The prevalence of MSDs was associated with both demographic characteristics of nurses and hospitals' organizational factors. It was confirmed that making ergonomics interventions could improve the working environment in the hospital.

“…Barzideh et al [87], using the "Job Content Questionnaire" and the NMQ in a group of Iranian nurses, identified a direct relation between MSD and work stress. In the same year, Mynarski et al [89] made a preliminary evaluation on the possible link between sports and the reduction in MSD among nurses, finding this connection to be more than likely.…”

Sustainability seeks to provide economically viable products in an environmentally friendly way while respecting worker rights. Physical wellbeing forms part of these rights. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) diminish productivity, cause absence from work, impose costs on the public health system and can cast doubt on the sustainability of a company or a product. The objective of the present work is to review the literature on the application of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) on a worldwide level. In this work, the use of the NMQ has been classified by categories of knowledge, countries and years. The search was made using "Web of Science-Core Collection". In total, 259 articles were chosen from scientific journals and conferences related, according to the title and or abstract, to the practical application of the questionnaire. In conclusion, the NMQ has been applied mainly in three sectors: "activities related to treating human health and social issues", "manufacturing industries", and "agriculture, livestock, fishing, and forestry". The NMQ is an indirect method commonly used individually or complemented with other methods for evaluating the MSD and possible associated psychosocial and labour risks. The use of NMQ can help in the evaluation of the sustainability of a company.

“…Z opinią o spłaszczaniu się lordozy wraz z wiekiem, co miałoby powodować zmiany degeneracyjne, nie wszyscy badacze się zgadzają [24,25], a jeszcze inni sugerują nawet jej zwiększanie [26]. W tym kontekście wysoka i bardzo wysoka korelacja (r = 0,6 i r = 0,8, p < 0,05) między typem postawy plecy wklę-słe a zgłaszanymi dolegliwościami odcinka lędźwiowego kręgosłupa może oznaczać, że częstsze występowanie objawów jest powiązane z większym przodowygięciem w tej części ciała.…”

StreszczenieWstęp: W Polsce 85% ludności dorosłej zgłasza dolegliwości bólowe odcinka lędźwiowego kręgosłupa, a 70-80% osób do 20. roku życia doświadczyło takich dolegliwości. Najczęstszą pierwotną przyczyną zapalnego bólu krzyża (ZBK) jest utrata lordozy lędź-wiowej, która zapoczątkowuje zmiany w geometrii innych odcinków kręgosłupa i wpływa na ustawienie kończyn. Celem badania jest zweryfikowanie związku między głównymi krzywiznami kręgosłupa w płaszczyźnie strzałkowej, tj. lordozą lędźwiową i kifozą piersiową, a dolegliwościami bólowymi w różnych częściach narządu ruchu w grupie 20-letnich osób u progu stabilizacji ontogenetycznej. Założono, że nadmierne wychylenie odcinka lędźwiowego i zwiększony dysbalans piersiowo-lędźwiowy jest czynnikiem sprzyjającym ZBK. Słowa kluczowe: studenci, dysbalans strzałkowy, bóle krzyża, NMQ, plurimetr Rippsteina, płaszczyzna strzałkowa Abstract Background: In Poland, about 85% of the population report low back pain (LBP) symptoms overall. Moreover, 70-80% of people aged below 20 have already experienced back pain. The primary cause of LBP is the loss of spinal lordosis, which initiates changes in geometry of the spine and has impact on limb arrangement. The aim of the study was to attempt to verify the relationship between the 2 main curvatures of the spine and its relation to symptoms in different parts of the musculoskeletal system, in a group of adults. It was assumed that hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine and misbalance of the thoraco-lumbar junction are risk factors for LBP. Material and Methods: The study coverd 231 first-year students, (aged 19-21) of the University of Economics in Katowice. There were 103 men aged 19.5±0.8 years and 128 women aged 19.6±0.8 years. The students completed the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ): 7 days (NMQ7) and 6 months (NMQ6). A Rippstein's plurimeter, was used to measure the angles of thoracic kyphosis (KTH) and lumbar lordosis (KLL). Cut of points was set at 30±5. Results: The results indicate strong and very strong correlation (r = 0.6 and r = 0.8, p < 0.05) between the concave of the back and LBP, which may suggest the relationship between these symptoms and the increased lordosis. Conclusions: Postural defects in the sagittal plane may predict the occurrence of pain. The results of the study indicate a higher frequency of pain in people with a higher angle of lumbar lordosis.
