[Impairment of the osteoarticular and musculoligamentous components in bill posters: an example of the thoracic outlet syndrome].

The authors analysed the risks and associated damage in bill posters on the basis of a case history description. Biomechanical analysis of the job revealed in particular the involvement of the musculoligamentous structure of the cervical spine and shoulder, mostly during the actual posting of bills. The authors propose a clinical-functional definition of the pain and paresthetic symptoms of the upper limbs which are frequently encountered in this category of workers.
