TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the relationship between exposure-response relationships between occupational risk factors and musculoskeletal disorders in the neck and shoulders and concluded that women exhibited a higher prevalence of neck and shoulder complaints and tension neck syndrome than men, when adjusting for postures, velocities, muscular activity or psychosocial exposure.

Effect of whole-body vibration on the low back. A study of tractor-driving farmers in north India.
TL;DR: Tractor-driving farmers report backache more often than non-tractor- driving farmers, but no significant objective differences on clinical or magnetic resonance imaging evaluation were found between the two groups.

Heritability of spinal pain and consequences of spinal pain: A comprehensive genetic epidemiologic analysis using a population-based sample of 15,328 twins ages 20–71 years
Jan Hartvigsen,Jan Nielsen,Kirsten Ohm Kyvik,René Fejer,Werner Vach,Ivan A. Iachine,Charlotte Leboeuf-Yde +6 more
TL;DR: Heritability estimates for pain in different spinal regions are quite similar and there is a moderate to high genetic correlation between the phenotypes, which may indicate a common genetic basis for a high proportion of spinal pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of a questionnaire for assessing physical work load
TL;DR: The method developed in this study is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing physical work load and the integration of statistical methods from psychological testing and theory in the development of methods exploring the effects of physical work Load is advocated.

Disorders of the cervicobrachial region among female workers in the electronics industry
TL;DR: Large interindividual differences in working technique, and thereby in work load, were obtained and some of these measures, especially those describing flexion and abduction of the upper arm, were related to symptoms in the neck and shoulder.
