[Features of change of the functional state as related to the development of disorders of the osteomuscular system in workers exposed to regional physical overloads coupled with vibration and noise].
Physiological parameters were studied in industrial settings as well as in laboratory experiments and clinical examination characterizing the condition of the most important bodily systems in drivers of the technological motor transport and excavator operators working in the iron-ore open-cut mines. Differences have been revealed in the state of physiological indices in those workers with incipient manifestation of disorders of the osteomuscular system (OMS) as compared to workers in the identical service-duration group free from OMS disorders, suggesting individual sensitivity to exposure to regional physical overloads coupled with vibration and noise and warranting further studies on development of methods and criteria for individual sensitivity to exposure to the above factors in order that prophylaxis against OMS disorders might be improved.
