산업구조의 변화로 인해 작업이 분업화되고, 공장자동화로 인한 단순반복 작업이 증가함에 따라 다양한 형태의 근골격계질환(WMSD/sub s/)이 급속도로 증가하고 있으며 다양한 업종의 근로자에게 급속도로 확대되고 있다 근골격계질환은 미국의 경우 전체 산업재해의 3분의 1을 차지하고 있고 작업자 보상비용만 한해 총 450～540억 달러를 지출하고 있다. 하지만, 우리나라의 실태는 근골격계질환의 심각성에 비해 인식부족과 실태조사, 예방대책에 대한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 근골격계질환을 체계적으로 접근하여 실태를 파악하고, 예방대책을 세우기 위해서는 인간공학 프로그램의 적용이 필요하다. 본 연구는 미국에서 시행예정인 인간공학 프로그램의 초안을 바탕으로 한국에서 적용하는 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 한국에서 적용방안은 미국에서 행해진 시행착오를 줄이면서 한국에서 쉽게 근골격계질환의 실태를 조사하고, 기록을 유지하여 예방대책을 수립하는데 도움을 줄 것이다.(중략)

국내외의 근골격계질환에 대한 현황과 자료를 검토하였다. 국내의 자료는 지난 수년간 대학 연구소에서 수행한 유해요인조사 및 예방사업 과정에서 수집된 자료들이다. 제조업에서 서비스업에 이르는 다양한 업종의 현황을 비교하였다. 외국의 자료와 비교할 때 가장 큰 특징은 국내의 근골격계질환 자료는 발생건수에서도 실제 생산형장에서의 현황보다 축소되어져 있지만, 전체 산업재해나 직업병에서의 비율로 볼 때도 매년 그 발생 비율이 불안정하게 등락함으로서 아직도 국내의 근골격계질환의 발생비율은 여전히 정확한 현황 파악이 되지 못하고 있는 것으로 평가된다. 국내외 자료를 비교 분석한 결과 국내의 근골격계질환 현황은 외국의 평균치와 비교하여 10배 이상 저평가 되어 있는 것으로 분석된다. 또한 업종별로 평균 유병율은 적게는 5%에서 많게는 10% 이상에 이르는 것으로 추정되어진다.

제주도 내 관광객수는 최근 5년간 꾸준히 증가했으며 2012년 12월을 기준으로 960만명을 돌파하였다. 서비스업의 전체 사업장 및 근로자 역시 최근 5년간 증가하였으며 서비스업 종사자의 경우 전체 근로자 173,996명의 47%를 차지하고 있다. 업무상질병자 중 근골격계질환자 수는 전체의 90%를 차지하고 있으며(2012년 12월 기준) 근로자의 신규유입이 적고 노령근로자가 많은 점을 감안하였을 때 업무상 질병 발생율은 향후 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 제주도 내 관광객 수 증가에 따른 서비스업 종사자의 근골격계질환 발생현황 분석으로 향후 제주도 내 발생되는 근골격계질환의 예방에 기여하고자 한다.

연구는 소방공무원 각 신체 부위별 근골격계질환 관련 자각증상과 질병 및 사고 결근과의 관련성을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 전국의 소방공무원 8,368명을 대상으로 온라인을 통한 자기기입식 설문 조사를 하였으며, 통계분석을 시도하였다. 그 결과 지난 1년간 질병 결근은 12.9%, 사고 결근은 5.9%가 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 질병 결근 및 사고 결근 모두 신체부위(목)과 신체부위(어깨)의 근골격계질환 관련 자각증상과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 질병 결근의 경우 신체부위(목) 증상자의 20.9%, 신체부위(어깨) 증상자의 19.0%, 사고 결근의 경우 신체부위(목) 증상자의 12.1%, 신체부위(어깨) 증상자의 10.9%로 파악되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 소방공무원의 결근과 근골격계질환 관련 자각증상이 관련이 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 추후 질병 및 사고 결근 감소를 위하여 소방공무원의 근골격계질환에 대한 관리 및 건강관리 프로그램의 운영이 요구된다.

This study is a descriptive research for understanding the health behaviors, job stress, and musculoskeletal subjective symptoms of university employees, and also for examining the influence factors having effects on the musculoskeletal subjective symptoms. Targeting total 158 university employees, the data was collected from July to August 2020. In the results of this study, the characteristics related to health behaviors showed the percentages like the rate of drinking(68.6%), rate of smokers(9.6%), rate of exercising three times or more a week(15.4%), and the rate of regular eating habit(64.7%). The mean score of job stress was 63.7. The musculoskeletal disease symptom group falling under the occupational musculoskeletal subjective symptom standard of NIOSH was 18.6%, and the musculoskeletal subjective symptom of shoulders showed the highest rate. Also, the 29.5% of research subjects responded that the cause for their musculoskeletal pain was work. As the factors having effects on the musculoskeletal subjective symptoms, the sex, age, career experience, and job stress had significant effects on the subjective symptom of shoulder part(p<.01) while the regular exercise had significant effects on the subjective symptom of waist(p<.05). The educational background and regular meals had significant effects on the subjective symptom of legs and knees(p<.05). Thus, in order to prevent the musculoskeletal diseases of university employees, it would be necessary to develop/apply the programs for the relief of job stress, regular exercise, and regular meals.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify musculoskeletal symptom and pain related working posture with operation-room workers. Methods: The subjects of this study were 73 people who were working from hospital operating-room. A questionnaire consisting of general characteristics, pain symptoms, and pain frequency was given. Objective working posture analysis was done by using REBA after recording moving images in hospital operating-rooms. Results: The result were as follows. The risk level of musculoskeletal symptom related working posture was high, and the management level was at the least 2; 'some management was required for musculoskeletal symptom'. The frequency of pain was 3~4 times/week and the severe pain were experienced from legs, neck, and shoulder. The result of relation of general characteristics and pain were significant variable with sex, age, marital status, weight, past working history, average working time(hr/day), working style, and working department. Conclusion: These results contribute to a better understanding of operation-room workers have high possibility of musculoskeletal disease and are severe musculoskeltal pain related working posture.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors of health services that satisfy chronic musculoskeletal patients in the northern part of Gyeong-buk, South Korea. One hundred and seven chronic musculoskeletal patients who had visited a clinic in Gyeong-buk were recruited for this study. The data were collected through a questionnaire survey administered from May 7 to June 6, 2012. The collected data were analyzed by multiple regression analysis. The major findings of this research are as follows. The chronic musculoskeletal patients' satisfaction was determined by the "physical therapist's explanation," "registration process," "home exercise," "respect from staff," and whether the physical therapist and staff "listened to concerns." The chronic musculoskeletal patients' likely to revisit is strongly related to "physical therapist's explanation," "registration process," and "up-to-date equipment." Therefore, it is very important for clinics to improve the quality of the "physical therapist's explanation," "registration process," "respect from staff," "informed consent," "up-to-date equipment," and "home exercise." Furthermore, it is expected that the outcomes of this study will contribute to the customer satisfaction of chronic musculoskeletal patients in clinics.

This study aims to identify the relations between self-reported symptoms of industrial workers work-related musculoskeletal disorders and psychosocial factors. The subjects of the study were 120 male workers who were using the rehabilitation center of K company and they were voluntarily interviewed with a use of organized questionnaire. Except the responses from eighteen subjects whose responses were insincere and who had disorders in musculoskeletal areas, the responses of 102 ones were decided for the final analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences in self-reported symptoms of work-related musculoskeletal disorders between the subjects according to smoking, physical burden and self-efficacy. To prevent and control work-related musculoskeletal disorders, multi-characteristic aspects of how the disorders appeared and psychological factors, in particular, self-efficacy, should be carefully considered. Then, as psychosocial factors affect musculoskeletal disorders, relations between the disorders and factors should be analysed through long-term follow-up studies, psychosocial factors should be actively intervened, and the effect should be evaluated.

Although direct skeletal muscle invasion by carcinoma is well recognized, distant metastasis to skeletal muscle is uncommon. Furthermore, multifocal skeletal muscle metastasis is a very exceptional event. Some factors such as variable intra-muscular blood flow, mechanical factors including turbulent blood flow and muscle contraction, intra-muscular acidic condition, lactic acid, protease inhibitors in the extra-cellular matrix were proposed as causes of the rarity of distant metastasis to skeletal muscle. We report here a case of a 67 year old male who had multifocal skeletal muscle metastasis from the transitional cell carcinoma of left kidney.
