摘要

背景:大量的研究表明,在超声检查使用者中,颈部、肩部、手腕和背部疼痛的患病率很高。然而,迄今为止,几乎没有系统地调查导致这些投诉的具体姿势。本研究提供了一种新的方法来记录使用者在超声检查时的身体姿势,并调查不同专业的超声使用者的投诉。利用这些数据,将制定有充分根据的人体工程学建议,以预防与工作有关的肌肉骨骼疾病(WRMSDs)。方法:至少38名研究参与者分为两组(19名初学者;每个专业(头颈超声、腹部超声、心脏超声、肌肉骨骼超声和产科/妇科超声)将使用基于惯性运动捕获的运动学全身(包括手指运动)分析进行评估。随后,将通过将定量数据整合到快速上肢评估(RULA)中来确定人体工程学风险。此外,一份关于超声检查中肌肉骨骼疾病和人体工程学的调查问卷将用于超声认证课程、超声中心和大学教学。本研究的主要结果测量包括基于关节角度的典型任务和使用RULA评分的评估。此外,还将记录水资源msd的流行情况。曼-惠特尼- u测试将被用来计算两个研究组在每个专业之间的差异。对连续数据采用置信区间进行推理统计比较;这里将采用统计参数映射方法。显著性水平设为p = 0.05。结论:本文提出了一项研究(或一系列研究)来描述超声检查不同学科的典型任务的持续人体工程学风险,并确定增加的人体工程学风险。这些研究为预防水俣事故提供了巨大的潜力。所获得的见解可以为未来预防规划的设计和行动建议的制定提供信息,以及向超声检查用户传授符合人体工程学的最佳工作方式。结果可能表明,人体工程学训练应该更彻底地纳入超声训练课程,以尽量减少未来使用者的健康风险。

A new approach for the implementation of ergonomics in sonography to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders (ErgoSon).

Background: A substantial body of research has documented a high prevalence of neck, shoulder, wrist, and back pain among sonography users. However, the specific postures that contribute to these complaints have scarcely been systematically investigated, to date. This proposed study offers a novel method to record users' body posture during sonography examinations kinematically and to survey the complaints of sonography users in various specialities. Using this data, well-founded ergonomic recommendations for the prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) will be developed.

Methods: A minimum of 38 study participants across two groups (19 beginners; 19 experienced) per speciality (head and neck sonography, abdominal sonography, cardiac sonography, musculoskeletal sonography, and obstetric/gynaecological sonography) will be assessed using kinematic whole-body (including finger movements) analysis based on inertial motion capture. Subsequently, ergonomic risk will be determined by integrating the quantitative data into the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA). Moreover, a questionnaire on musculoskeletal complaints and ergonomics in sonography will be used in certified sonography courses, ultrasound-based centres, and university teaching. The primary outcome measures of this proposed study include typical tasks based on joint angles and assessment using RULA scores. In addition, the prevalence of WRMSDs will be recorded. The Mann-Whitney-U test will be employed to calculate the differences between the two study groups in each speciality. In addition, inferential statistical comparisons will be conducted for continuous data using confidence bands; the statistical parametric mapping method will be employed here. The significance level will be set at p = 0.05.

Conclusions: This article proposes a study (or series of studies) to describe the continuous ergonomic risk for typical tasks across different disciplines of sonography and to identify increased ergonomic risks. Such studies offer significant potential for preventing WRMSDs. The insights gained could inform the future design of prevention programmes and the development of recommendations for action, as well as teaching sonography users an ergonomically optimised way of working. The results could suggest that ergonomics training is incorporated more thoroughly into ultrasound training curricula to minimise health risks for future users.

期刊介绍: Aimed at clinicians and researchers, the Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology is a multi-disciplinary, open access journal which publishes original research on the clinical and scientific aspects of occupational and environmental health. With high-quality peer review and quick decision times, we welcome submissions on the diagnosis, prevention, management, and scientific analysis of occupational diseases, injuries, and disability. The journal also covers the promotion of health of workers, their families, and communities, and ranges from rehabilitation to tropical medicine and public health aspects.
