Forklifts are commonly used in industrial supply chains to transport heavy loads. Forklift drivers have the risk of developing musculoskeletal discomfort derived from the movement pattern required at work. This research aimed to investigate the spinal range of motion (ROM) and musculoskeletal discomfort of forklift drivers and compare it with a control group. Forklift drivers (39 males) and office workers (31 males) were recruited to assess cervical, thoracic, and lumbar ROM with an electronic double inclinometer. Additionally, musculoskeletal discomfort was registered with the Cornell Discomfort Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Forklift drivers showed a higher cervical discomfort and ROM of lateral lumbar bending than office workers. Both groups reported lower ROM in cervical and lumbar lateral bending on the right side versus the left side. No differences of asymmetry were reported for any variable between groups. Specific exercise programs may correct these mobility imbalances.
叉车在工业供应链中常用于运输重物。叉车司机有因工作所需的运动模式而产生肌肉骨骼不适的风险。本研究旨在调查叉车司机的脊柱活动范围（ROM）和肌肉骨骼不适情况，并与对照组进行比较。招募了叉车司机（39名男性）和办公室职员（31名男性），使用电子双倾角仪评估颈椎、胸椎和腰椎的活动范围。此外，通过康奈尔肌肉骨骼不适问卷记录肌肉骨骼不适情况。与办公室职员相比，叉车司机的颈椎不适和腰椎侧屈活动范围更大。两组均报告右侧颈椎和腰椎侧屈的活动范围低于左侧。两组之间任何变量均未报告不对称差异。特定的锻炼计划可能会纠正这些活动能力失衡问题。
