The influence of occupational activity on diseases of the musculoskeletal system of the upper extremity

CONCLUSION: The prevalence of RC lesions shows a statistical correlation with the occupation performed depending on the occupational branches. In addition to occupational dependency, gender-specific work factors play a role. Shoulder pain in gainful employment should be considered in a more differentiated way. This should enable preventive measures to be taken in a targeted manner.PMID:34939146 | DOI:10.1007/s00132-021-04199-1
