Anatomy, Posture, Prevalence, Pain, Treatment and Interventions of Musculoskeletal Disorders
Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders are defined as disorders that affect a part of the body's musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, blood vessels, and spinal disks. These are the injuries that result from repeated motions, vibrations, and forces placed on human bodies while performing various job actions. They are extremely common and costly problems for people and companies. Thus, this book is designed to include a wide array of extensive and comprehensive discussions provided on occupational, educational, and medical aspects of ergonomics. Thus, it can be utilized as a guide to identify and analyze the risk factors, reveal the impact of prevention and intervention, and discuss treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
... Research data show that more than 60% of those who seek medical help due to pain and dysfunction of the shoulder become disabled (the majority are men) [2]. According to results of epidemiological studies in dif ferent countries and World Health Organization data, 5-30% of the worldwide adult population suffers from pain and dysfunction of the shoulder [3]. ...
... The calculations used the physical properties of bone and cartilage tissue obtained from literary sources (Tab. 1) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. ...
Background. The aim of the work was to investigate the influence of the position of a fractured greater tubercle of the humerus on stress distribution in the glenohumeral joint (GHJ) at shoulder abduction by performing stress-strain analysis (SSA). Material and methods. A simulated 3D model of the shoulder was constructed on the basis of anatomical and anthropometric data as close as possible to real ones using the SolidWorks software package.Results. A finite-element model (FEM) was generated in a semi-automatic mode composed mostly of tetrahedral and hexagonal elements < 1 mm in dimensions.Conclusion. The simulated 3D model of the shoulder, based on anatomical and anthropometric data as close as possible to the real ones, makes possible highly accurate determination of the optimal mutual position of the movable elements of the real joint individually for each specific patient, and makes it possible to accurately perform a minimally invasive surgical operation.
