Occupational Exposures and Neck and Upper Extremity Disorders: A Systematic Review [Internet]
Excerpt
The scientific evidence suggests that the following exposures involve risks for disorders and diseases in the:
neck/shoulders – work involving bending/twisting the torso, heavy work (lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling), highly demanding work, little control, narrow parameters for decision making, or a combination of highly demanding work and little control
shoulders – heavy work (lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling), long-term use of computer mouse
elbows and forearms – heavy work (lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling), repetitive work, long-term use of computer mouse
wrists and hands – biomechanical load (combination of repetitive hand motion and force).
