In 2016, the French Navy acquired a new high-speed boat, called ECUME. It exposes crewmembers to significant Whole Body Vibrations. This work explores the musculoskeletal diseases among this population. We conducted a retrospective declarative epidemiologic study using anonymous questionnaires. Eighty-four sailors were included. Fifty-six (66.7%) report acute traumas during a nautical raid during the 12 months study period. Sixty (71.4%) report chronic pains, which they associate with their nautical activity. Among them, only 16 (26.7%) have consulted a doctor, but 32 (53.3%) report consuming medication, including 18 through selfmedication. More than half rely to alternatives medicine, especially osteopathy. The traumatic risk of ECUME riding is obvious. Many crewmembers minimize their symptoms, and consult rarely a physician. They give preference to selfmedication and alternative medicines.
2016 年，法国海军购入了一艘新型高速艇，名为 ECUME。该艇会使艇员全身承受高强度振动。本研究旨在探究艇员的肌肉骨骼疾病情况。我们采用匿名问卷进行了回顾性描述性流行病学研究。共纳入 84 名海军。56 名（66.7%）报告在研究期间的 12 个月内的一次航海突袭中出现急性创伤。60 名（71.4%）报告慢性疼痛，他们将其与航海活动联系起来。其中，仅 16 名（26.7%）咨询过医生，但 32 名（53.3%）报告服用过药物，包括 18 名自用药者。超过一半的人依赖替代药物，尤其是整骨疗法。ECUME 骑行的创伤风险显而易见。许多艇员对其症状轻描淡写，很少咨询医生。他们更倾向于自用药和替代药物。
