Lower-body muscular power predicts performance on urban combat simulation
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that muscle mass and lower body explosive force production together with maximal strength are key fitness components related to typical urban combat soldiers' military tasks. Physical training developing these components are recommended.PMID:38517830 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230239 (Source: Work)

Influence of brick laying height on biomechanical load in masons: Cross-sectional field study with technical measurements
CONCLUSION: Based on technical measurements, bricklaying at hip height showed the best compromise between muscular load and degree of forward bending. This study contributes to the development of the work environment for masons and can help guide preventive initiatives to reduce physical workload.PMID:38517831 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230325 (Source: Work)

Investigating the effect of hot and cold polyurethane foam on reducing whole body vibration of forklift operators
CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that cold foam has better effectiveness and efficiency than hot polyurethane foam. Also, the thicker the foam, the less vibration is transmitted to the driver.PMID:38517832 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230421 (Source: Work)

Relationship between one-handed push force and subjective rating of force exertion
CONCLUSION: Participants applied a higher one-handed push force at shoulder height than at elbow height was confirmed. Participants needed more efforts to push the movable handle under the same CR-10 level than the fixed handle. The predictive models developed in this study may be used to estimate the push force for one-handed pushing tasks when assessing the risk of MSDs.PMID:38517833 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230432 (Source: Work)

Dimensional assessment of self-reported musculoskeletal symptoms by workers: A multi-case study
CONCLUSION: Three models were valid and reliable for more extensive and smaller samples. However, the tridimensional model was best for generating discomfort scores in body regions. Companies and safety professionals can use these findings to devise strategies to mitigate musculoskeletal pains based on perceived symptom locations.PMID:38517834 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230480 (Source: Work)

Investigating the relationship between physical, cognitive, and environmental factors of ergonomics with the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders: A case study in a car-parts manufacturing industry
CONCLUSION: The results of the present study revealed that environmental, physical and cognitive factors can simultaneously be effective in the prevalence of WRMSDs. Therefore, performing effective control measures requires comprehensive attention to physical, environmental, and cognitive ergonomics in the algorithm of ergonomics management in the workplace.PMID:38489202 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230155 (Source: Work)

Effects of short-term upper extremity exercise training in office workers during COVID-19 restrictions: A randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: One-week UEET and walking advice can improve office workers' daily step counts, MSD, PA levels, mood, and QOL. Office workers who have a busy work schedule may do these UEET and walking exercises in break times to relieve perception of discomfort.PMID:38489203 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230190 (Source: Work)

Online teaching experience of the healthcare faculty during the pandemic: A cross sectional analysis
CONCLUSION: This study showed that online learning proved less effective than face-to-face learning. The main drawback of distance learning was the lack of teacher-student interaction. Online learning promotes student-centered learning and could be applied in situations of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.PMID:38489205 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230248 (Source: Work)
