title: [Management of the work place. Erogonomics and occupational medicine for the benefit of prevention].
abstract: Between the state of well-being and that of illness, an intermediary state often occurs, characterized by feelings of uneasiness, fatigue and pains. The study of these intermediary states in function of the work load (posture, noises, heat, etc.) constitutes an important feature of ergonomics. In this study we present the results of two polls showing pains due to inappropriate postures. Many observations of occupational medicine lead us to believe that pathological troubles of rheumatic order (arthritis, periathritis, tendinitis, myalgias, arthroses) can appear as a result of inappropriate postures and repetitive movements over a number of years. Thus, the ergonomic analysis of the work place can help to determine the risk of illness.
