Personal, psychosocial, and biomechanical factors predict upper-limb disorders in repetitive work. Understanding these risk factors, including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and lateral epicondylitis, is crucial for prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

  • Repetitive work is associated with a high incidence of upper-limb disorders.
  • Predicting these disorders requires understanding various contributing factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the predictability of personal and occupational factors for upper-limb disorders.
  • To identify risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), lateral epicondylitis, and wrist tendinitis.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal study of 598 workers in repetitive occupations.
  • Data collected via questionnaires and occupational health physician examinations over 3 years.

Main Results:

  • Biomechanical constraints, psychosocial factors, and personal factors independently predict upper-limb disorders.

  • Specific risk factor combinations varied for CTS, lateral epicondylitis, and wrist tendinitis.
  • Psychosomatic issues and lack of social support predicted wrist tendinitis; depressive symptoms predicted lateral epicondylitis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Upper-limb disorder incidence is influenced by biomechanical, psychosocial, and personal factors.
    • A multifactorial approach is necessary for understanding and preventing these work-related conditions.
