[Stress-induced and degenerative changes in the upper limbs and cervical spine of textile workers].
Screening, radiological and oscillometric tests showed, in 758 textile workers, overloaded muscles and osseo-articular system as well as degenerative and productive changes in upper limb and cervical spine. Pains and radiological as well as degenerative and productive changes in acromial girdle joints and cervical spine occurred predominantly in weaving women aged 41-50, employed for over 20 years. The disease has been found to result from occupational exposure. The authors suggest that a greater attention be paid to the prevention of overloading, degenerative and productive pathologies in textile workers.
