An Improved Musculoskeletal Discomfort Assessment Questionnaire
근골격계 장애 분석을 위한 설문지 조사에 관한 연구
Abstract
A self-report musculoskeletal assessment tool was adapted following field use by ergonomic analysis teams and was administrated to 100 employees of ChangWon techno-complex. Results were analyzed to determine of the self-report could adequately predict whether or not an employee reportedly sought medical treatment for a work-related discomfort. It is anticipated this tool can be utilized as an easily administrated, proactive surveillance instrument to assist in early identification of ergonomic concerns and to help prioritize jobs for intervention.
