Abstract

The recognition of POSTURAL ANOMALIES in heavy tasks such as MMH (manual material handling) plays an important role in prevention and reduction of treatment costs. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of POSTURAL ANOMALIES in lifting load workers of Behshahr industrial factory in 1995.This descriptive study was achieved on all 37 lifting load workers in the factory. To study the POSTURAL ANOMALIES, the workers were requested to stand behind the posture screen. Then their body postures were evaluated by the use of NEW YORK TEST/posture score sheet and photographs from back and latheral view in 3 levels of good, fair and poor. In the back view, head, shoulders, spinal column and pelvic positions were studied and in latheral view, Neck, back, lumbar and abdomen were examined. The obtained data were presented by employing descriptive statistics. The mean ± SD age of workers was 27.7±4.2 and its range was 20-30 years. The results from the back view indicated that the outbreak rates of affected workers from poor shoulders tilt, PELVIC TILT, head latheral tilt and SCOLIOSIS were 27%, 32.4%, 18.9% and 24.3%, respectively. The prevalence rates of workers with normal postures relating to head, shoulders, vertebral column and buttock were 21.7%. 8.2%. 35.2% and 24.4%, respectively. Meanwhile, in the latheral view in poor level, 83.7% of workers affected from LORDOSIS, 45.9% from KYPHOSIS, 40.5% from abdomen fall and 35.1% from forward head.Regarding the high prevalence's of these disorders, it is proposed further researches to be conducted to study the causes and the ways of preventing them.
