Abstract

Background: UPPER EXTREMITY musculoskeletal disorders (UEMSDs) may occur as a result of work with video display terminals (VDT). In this study we have investigated the prevalence of work-related UEMSDs among a group of Iranian bank clerks using VDT.Methods and Materials: In a cross-sectional study we evaluated 264 randomly selected bank clerks using VDT; 94 females and 170 males (mean age:29.8 years);, both by subjective measures of musculoskeletal symptoms and also by physical examinations in four areas of UE (neck, shoulders, elbows, wrist/hands) using a researcl er designed standard criteria. We also assessed association between some personal and occupational factors with UEMSDs.Results: The prevalence of work-related UEMSDs in our sample was 35.9% and women were more likely than men to have UEMSDs;43.6% versus 31.8% respectively (p=0.055). The most affected areas of UE were neck and shoulders. Duration of work with VDT and continuous, prolonged sitting at work-station showed positive significant associations with UEMSDs.Conclusion: This study indicates that work-related UEMSDs are common among bank clerks who use VDT, and that occupational factors are related to occurrence of these disorders. Obviously, physical/ergonomic design improvements are effective approach to reducing the occurrence of work-related UEMSDs.
