| dc.description.abstract | Musculoskeletal disorders are a major global problem contributing to huge society costs in terms of sick leave, medical treatments, and disability pensions. Physical exposures like manual material handling, postures, repetitive work, and work with high pace or force are thought to have important impact on musculoskeletal health. Professions within construction and healthcare have a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, and report high levels of physically demanding exposures. Previous knowledge of occupational physical exposures are largely based on self-reports, which are known to have limitations. Thus, there is a need for implementation of objective measurements providing valid information on physical workplace exposures within these sectors.
In this thesis, Lars-Kristian Lunde contributes with scientific evidence regarding physical workload of construction- and healthcare workers in a real-life setting using objective assessment tools. | en_US |
