Occupational accidents are one of the most important and preventable health problems occurring every day around the world. Although they are preventable, they are human capital issues for business and are also obstacles to socio-economic factors for injured workers. The concurrent impact far exceeds the loss of time, lack of schedule, production delay. In the past few years, the number of today's older workers employed in non-ergonomic occupations will not be inoculated to improve ergonomics as part of today's assessment of human capital costs. Inappropriate heights of workstation, electric hand tool, and warehouse staging area account for much of the simple musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) faced by today's aging.
According to Editor 's Desk 2005 Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 1.3 million sprains and strains, 43% of these injuries required more than one day recovery from work beyond the day of the accident did. Approximately two-thirds of these cases were resolved with cumulative operation time after surgery when simple sprains and soft tissue damage were combined with bruising, laceration, laceration and fracture.
The National Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) of Journal of American Medical Association's vocational complementary records records and reports on injuries associated with nonfatal work from the US hospital emergency emergency room across the United States. NEISS supports prevention activities correlating monthly reviews out of 5300 hospitals to monitor work-related and non-work related injuries by monitoring the trend of injuries 24 hours a day at 67-70 hospitals Emergency room.
In the report of December 4, 2009 by the US Labor Statistics Bureau (BLS), injuries in the lower extremities (back) are most prominent, but some other reporting agencies with data such as BLS, OSHA, CDC. The underlying factor is that rejection with the highest number of absenteeism directly involved in the following list is (1) heavy lifting, (2) excessive / excessive expansion of muscles by pushing in, pushing in, or carrying around (3) (4) physical reaction to avoid obstacles, (5) contact with objects or equipment. (6) repetitive movement (tendonitis); (7) limb or joint fracture; (8) carpal tunnel syndrome; (9) complex regional pain syndrome; (10) fall to a lower level. In the BLS occupational accident survey of 2008, 14.8 workers per 100 people out of about 19 million state and local government workers who are suffering from MSD injury reported are firefighters We are maintaining the best condition among law enforcement personnel. However, according to this same report, these state and local workers are rated 1.5 times higher than in the same injury as the private sector. Although these statistics reflect the high cost of human capital for the loss of working hours, the socio-economic impact on injured people, health care workers and other organizations is limited to the private sector small business in the United States Only from the place, 7.5 million Thus, the data does not effectively represent the majority of businesses, especially small businesses, where data can not be enumerated. Even the state workers compensation committee does not consider businesses with fewer than 15 employees, so you should not conclude with this data alone.
Injuries of small businesses or self-employed persons will have a far greater impact on the economic and social impact that time losses lead to the loss of self-employed income. Many self-employed persons interviewed said that they can not justify the cost benefit ratio of workers' property insurance and said it was dangerous to choose to work. The injury report of JAMA 2007 and the compensation report of Indiana state workers & that year show that of all work related injuries worsened by bending, twisting, or lifting of inappropriate or repetitive movements, It is over 53%.
To inherit waist injuries, the data further cites Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) as one of the most diseases of absenteeism. The human capital cost in 1998 is reported by three out of 10,000 workers with a 10-day mistake and over a long period of time with a total cost of $ 30,000 per person. I was surprised that CTS reported such a high labor cost, so I decided to study this subject to clarify the misunderstanding that CTS is a nightmare of computer operators. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a neuropathic lesion in which the peripheral nerve of the body is compressed or traumatized by injuries of the carpal tunnel and is usually a hard passage including ligaments and bones surrounding the central nerve of the wrist . This nerve controls the sensation of the thumb and the palm side of the finger, passes only small fingers, and controls impulses to small muscles that can move fingers and thumbs.
Who is in danger of CTS? According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), women are three times more likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome. Another misunderstanding, I guessed this is due to the high percentage of women in managerial positions with computer activity. wrong. In fact, according to the 2001 Mayo Clinic report, it turned out that the use of heavy computers (average 7 hours / day) did not increase the opportunity to develop CTS.
According to Dr. Mark Souder, a family exercise doctor in Oban, Indiana, abandoning the myth, more than 8,500 patients have been registered and reported to be elected 2010 Indiana Doctor of the 2010. "Since the size of the carpal tunnel is simply small, I have been classified living as a repetitive movement disorder such as bursitis or tendinitis. Firstly, congenital disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, overactive gland activity, cysts I excluded new treatments under co-sponsorship of InMed, a company that evaluates new technologies.RiteTemp Medical tried in the work of workers' experiences. Related musculoskeletal system Disorder RiteTemp uses the anatomically correct optimum temperature cold treatment device.Ice cream and gel.These devices effectively perform continuous cooling in the mid 50 degrees F and worry about frostbite and its complications Without it, an individual can wear one of the RiteTemp devices, it is a truly effective cure by adjusting the tendons and ligaments and bending to accelerate healing and return to the function of the affected part Is me. What he found in the trial is that RiteTemp is ideal as a modality, it is a reduction of the need for higher patient compliance and analgesics.
Occupations with the highest risk of carpal tunnels were sewing machine operators and manufacturing assembly personnel who needed repetitive hand movements with complex movements. Actually, I was doing large sewing work in the United States. The sewing work is actively working to prevent injuries in the workplace. Bob Hinty, owner of Hentz Manufacturing and Markfore, Fort Wayne, is a proponent of preventive and conditioning therapy for workers. One of the largest sewing, silk screening, embroidery operations in the United States, providing outstanding quality, quick turnaround, professional and custom sewing from the finest ladies' handbags and computer cases to women's handbags and computer cases It is a discotic bed for the transportation of soldiers on the facility site at the tip of the hint. A hint is that the facility employs a personal approach that involves work conditioning and safety compliance on a daily basis.
"There are many aspects of human ergonomics, and human beings need to coexist in harmony with mass production equipment," Hinty says. "When cross-training including atypical motor skills and non-ergonomic functions is required, my boss periodically adopts the use of RiteTemp medical treatment equipment as part of body care and training.His success Recipe is a fusion of mechanical science and ergonomics that creates "art work" on the high end fashion Cinda B line of handbags and tote bags. To prevent excessive deterrence of using new muscles until Hus muscles are conditioned to atypical movement, Hinty added a new production project at Gerber Cutter with one of the employees wearing RiteTemp Wrist-Forearm I am supervising the implementation.
When mentioning the population of baby boomers who have been working for at least 30 years, I fortunately had an orthopedic surgeon who is one of several doctors participating in back and forth pain research including RiteTemp Medical Cool Therapy Device - Surgical recovery therapy. The perfect example below is echoed by Dr. Richard Steinfeld, an orthopedic surgeon at Vero Beach, Florida. Recently, he performed arthroscopic surgery on the employer who is working everyday at his feet and cleared the ripped ACL (ligament) and the meniscus. His right knee joint. Removing the incompletely torn meniscus during the arthroscopic examination revealed a troublesome problem facing this baby boomer and our aging - arthritis and other degenerative joint diseases.
In this case, the patient was inferred from excessive rotation or twisting of the knee joint during high energy exercise, in which case the patient experienced a long-term deterioration of the knee joint due to repetition of the pressing pressure on the joint. When arthroscopy was completed, I was privileged to have the opportunity to see Dr. Steinfeld and his patient injured and post-operative discharge. While surgery was successful, what was not first revealed by the preoperative x-rays of the patient was boring arthritis and diagnosed as being common among baby boomer groups. According to Dr. Steinfeld, a former naval astronaut who operated a private practice at Vero Beach, Florida, "This patient reported to Dr. Steinfeld, then in a pre-sleep interview, on a more youthful day He routinely ran over 5 miles in the hilly area, played racquetball twice every week, and actively followed baseball as often as possible.The patient seems to have finally succumbed to arthritis. In the near future exchange joints, scrape the bones against the bones to feel friction and discomfort.
As a pain test participant, Dr. Steinfeld's treatment of patients who recovered after arthroscopic outpatient surgery uses RiteTemp Active Knee as the first treatment and will continue to wear cooling devices as much as possible in the coming weeks It was. Unlike all ice or gel cryotherapy devices, this medical device does not get cold like ice or gel and can be worn without interference. It is a two piece device with a live hinge that will properly bend in all body shapes when the knee bends during normal walking. I was not a companion to get a picture of the cold treatment device of this new active knee that this patient is using, but a video explaining this new 'active modality' can be seen on the YouTube site , RiteTemp Medical Active Knee.
Dr. Steinfeld is religious in using the cooling device as frequently as possible after a 30-day follow-up on this patient and the RiteTemp device before surgery has typical postoperative pain and swelling It showed that he helped to alleviate it. He reported using only ibuprofen, but by using RiteTemp as a better method, we reaffirmed higher patient compliance and faster healing throughout the recovery period.
