From a physical and psychological point of view, female workers have greater exposure to low strength, repetitive motion of upper extremities that causes gender disparity with its health consequences. This chapter documents a study where females were found to have lower biomechanical negative effects in the upper extremities compared to similar male exposures and a higher rate of productivity, especially in tasks of low force demand. This can be attributed to the fact that men used more strength than what was strictly necessary to accomplish the task, mobilizing a greater number of muscle groups than women; females also showed a greater resilience to conditions of high repetitiveness that demanded high-quantitative psychological demands and still maintain productivity rates over time, evidencing also lower rates of rotation and absenteeism caused by musculoskeletal disorders.","PeriodicalId":202401,"journal":{"name":"Safety and Health for Workers - Research and Practical Perspective","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124772383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research was conducted on a sample of 1105 students. This research program includes students from the first to the fifth grade in the following 11 elementary schools in Sarajevo. Method of measuring the curvature of the spine based on Napoleon Wolanski ’ s criteria from 1975 entitled D-5 spine posture (ESP). The analysis of spinal deformity of students in urban and rural classrooms was done by using the descriptive chi-square statistics. It has been determined that in the initial measurement, a greater number of examinees with no spinal deformity came from the rural schools. The examinees from the urban schools displayed first- and second-degree spinal deformity. In the final measurement, a greater number of examinees without spinal deformity came from rural schools, 28 (2%) to be precise. There was also a greater representation of first-degree spinal deformity in the examinees from urban schools, 49 (8%) to be precise. However, the representation of second-degree spinal deformity was not present in either of the examinees from rural or urban schools.","PeriodicalId":202401,"journal":{"name":"Safety and Health for Workers - Research and Practical Perspective","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126719695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
