Musculoskeletal disorders are the group of disorders which affects the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, peripheral nerves and supporting blood vessels in the body. Sewing machine involves continuous, repetitive tasks like cutting, assembly, pressing and finishing. These works are performed in a sitting posture with upper back curved forwards and the head is bent towards the sewing machine. Working in this faulty posture for a long time increases the chance of developing work related musculoskeletal disorder among them. The objective of study is prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints among sewing machine workers in leather industry.
A non- experimental study with 100 subjects according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Using the NORDIC QUESTIONNAIRE musculoskeletal pain have been analysed.
The statistical analysis of this study show 88% of sewing machine workers had a lower back pain in the last 12 months, 82% sewing machine workers had a lower back and knee pain that has been prevented them over last 12 months during normal activity, 86% sewing machine workers had lower back pain in the last 7 days.
This study concluded that the 86% experienced low back pain, 84% experienced knee pain and 74% of experienced neck pain in past 7 days. 88% of experienced low back pain, 86% experienced knee pain, 76% experienced neck pain in past 12 months.82% experienced pain in lower back and knee pain and 72% experienced neck pain among sewing machine manual workers that has impacted over last 12 months during normal activity.
肌肉骨骼疾病是影响身体肌肉、肌腱、韧带、关节、周围神经和支持血管的一组疾病。缝纫机操作涉及切割、组装、熨烫和整理等连续、重复的任务。这些工作以坐姿进行，上背部向前弯曲，头部朝向缝纫机。长时间以这种不良姿势工作会增加患与工作相关的肌肉骨骼疾病的几率。本研究的目的是调查皮革行业缝纫机工人肌肉骨骼不适的患病率。
根据纳入和排除标准对100名受试者进行非实验性研究。使用北欧问卷对肌肉骨骼疼痛进行了分析。
本研究的统计分析表明，88%的缝纫机工人在过去12个月中有下背部疼痛，82%的缝纫机工人在过去12个月的正常活动中因下背部和膝盖疼痛而受限，86%的缝纫机工人在过去7天中有下背部疼痛。
本研究得出结论，在过去7天中，86%的人经历过下背部疼痛，84%的人经历过膝盖疼痛，74%的人经历过颈部疼痛。在过去12个月中，88%的人经历过下背部疼痛，86%的人经历过膝盖疼痛？%的人经历过颈部疼痛。在过去12个月的正常活动中，82%的缝纫机体力劳动者经历过下背部和膝盖疼痛，72%的人经历过颈部疼痛。 （注：原文中“86% experienced knee pain, 76% experienced neck pain in past 12 months.82% experienced pain in lower back and knee pain and 72% experienced neck pain among sewing machine manual workers that has impacted over last 12 months during normal activity.”这段话似乎表述有误，翻译时尽量忠实原文但逻辑较混乱，可能影响理解。）
