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)

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)
