BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to report on the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in lobstermen in the northeast USA.
METHODS
Crews were randomly selected from those licensed to fish in Maine and Massachusetts and followed prospectively. The survey used a Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire format to characterize musculoskeletal disorders.
RESULTS
A total of 395 individuals participated. One half of the respondents reported low back pain. Back pain was attributed to or exacerbated by lobstering. Low back pain was prevalent among both captains and sternmen, while sternmen reported more hand/wrist pain than captains. Multiple locations for pain were common in individual participants.
CONCLUSION
Equipment or technology to assist material handling should be a priority, as the body segments with high prevalence of pain (back, hand/wrists, shoulders, knees) are all affected by the repetitive and forceful handling of the lobster traps.
背景
本研究的目的是报告美国东北部龙虾捕捞者肌肉骨骼疼痛的患病率。
方法
从缅因州和马萨诸塞州获得捕鱼许可的船员中随机选取，并进行前瞻性跟踪。该调查采用北欧肌肉骨骼问卷形式来描述肌肉骨骼疾病。
结果
共有395人参与。一半的受访者报告有腰痛。背痛归因于捕龙虾或因捕龙虾而加重。船长和船尾船员中腰痛都很普遍，而船尾船员报告的手部/腕部疼痛比船长更多。个体参与者中疼痛出现在多个部位很常见。
结论
辅助物料搬运的设备或技术应成为优先事项，因为疼痛患病率高的身体部位（背部、手部/腕部、肩部、膝盖）都受到重复且用力搬运龙虾笼的影响。
