Initial Findings from the San Francisco Prospective Study of Hand/Wrist Disorders among Manufacturing Workers

摘要：

This paper describes early findings from a prospective study of 460 blue collar workers from several companies and industries followed for up to 3 years. The study collected detailed ergonomic exposure data at baseline and upper extremity health outcome data at baseline and every 4 months during the study. Initial findings of prevalence and incidence rates of upper extremity disorders are presented. Ultimately, the study will evaluate dose-response relationships of specific upper extremity disorders with detailed physical and psychosocial exposure data at the workplace while controlling for important personal covariates.
