A prospective longitudinal study was carried out to investigate the occurrence of upper limb disorders in an electromechanical plant between 1980 and 1988. It included clinical and epidemiological studies, measurement of vibration produced by the power tools used, ergonomic assessment of the works and time and motion studies. Simultaneously during the same period remedial actions were taken through multidisciplinary interventions when the specific causal factors were known. The study shows the clinical entities of the disorder, identifies the risk factors and evaluates the results of the interventions. It assists in establishing a cause and effect relationship for the condition and demonstrates the way a preventive strategy could be developed.
一项前瞻性纵向研究于1980年至1988年期间在一家机电工厂开展，旨在调查上肢疾病的发生情况。该研究包括临床和流行病学研究、所使用电动工具产生振动的测量、工作的人体工程学评估以及时间与动作研究。在同一时期，当明确具体因果因素时，通过多学科干预采取了补救措施。该研究展示了疾病的临床实体，识别了风险因素，并评估了干预结果。它有助于确立该病症的因果关系，并展示了制定预防策略的方法。
