Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

955
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

3.5K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

The Functions of the Skeletal System

3.8K
The most apparent functions of the skeletal system are support, protection, and movement. However, bone tissue also performs several other critical metabolic functions. For one, the bone matrix acts as a reservoir for a number of minerals important to the functioning of the body, especially calcium and phosphorus. These minerals, present in the bone tissue, can be released back into the bloodstream when required. Calcium ions, for example, are essential for muscle contractions and controlling...

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

4.2K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Health and Safety
  • Occupational Ergonomics
  • Dairy Farming Practices

Background:

  • European dairy farms are diversifying, increasing attention on associated health risks.
  • Musculoskeletal pain is a growing concern in agricultural work.
  • Understanding risks in diversified dairy production is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in dairy farm workers involved in value-added product creation (butter, yogurt, cheese).
  • To identify and analyze the occupational risks linked to these production tasks.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 31 dairy farm workers, primarily female.
  • Utilized the ERGOROM questionnaire and Key Indicator Method forms for data collection.
  • Adapted methodology from the Institut National de Recherche et de Sécurité (INRS).

Main Results:

  • Musculoskeletal pain reported by 42% (load carrying), 17% (manual work), and 14% (awkward postures).
  • Common pain sites: lower back (65%), neck (39%), dominant upper limb (shoulder 61%, elbow 26%, wrist 65%).
  • Low psychosocial risks noted, but concerns existed regarding workload, hygiene, and resource unpredictability.

Conclusions:

  • Dairy farm evolution towards semi-industrialization necessitates ergonomic interventions.
  • Protecting farmer health and preventing musculoskeletal disorders is vital during farm diversification.
  • Proactive ergonomic adaptations are key to sustainable dairy farming.
