title: [Repetitive movements of the upper limbs: results of exposure evaluation and clinical investigation in the manual sanding of wood in the Valdichiana region].
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of risk exposure deriving from repetitive movements of the upper limbs, among a population of female workers manually sand papering timber products. The study also included an anamnestic and clinical assessment for the purpose of detecting and diagnosing WMSDs in the study population. The authors report a distinct prevalence of such disorders among the female workers exposed to a high level of risk, also in view of the total absence of recovery periods.
