title: Further studies of postural load and musculo-skeletal injuries of workers at an electro-mechanical assembly plant.
abstract: Following two previous papers, a further analysis of epidemiological and physiological data collected at a small electro-mechanical assembly plant in Norway is presented. Data on trapezius load might allow argument of a causal relationship between the level of postural load and the risk of developing musculo-skeletal injury. The second part of the paper provides an epidemiological analysis of sick-leave statistics of workers at old and more recent work systems.
