The sculpting craft must adopt awkward postures that lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
This study investigated the prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort (MD) and its associations with postural risk factors, demographics, and work characteristics among sculptors. They were determined the differences between MDs during the weeks of the study.
A longitudinal study was conducted; MD was investigated using the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ). Posture was assessed using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment method (RULA). Multivariate logistic regression (MLR) models analyzed associations with different factors. ANOVA was used to test for differences in MD prevalence.
The analysis included 585 responses by body region. The prevalence of MD was high in the lower and upper limbs among sculptors (67.6%), with the lower back, upper arm, neck, and knees being the four most affected regions. Gender (female) (OR = 2.15), marital status (married) (OR = 1.80), health risk (obesity), the dual of a secondary job (OR = 1.94), job stress (OR = 2.10), duration of work (OR = 2.01), and difficulty keeping up with work (OR = 2.00) were significant predictors contributing to the occurrence of MD in different body regions. Only shoulder MD prevalence showed significant differences between study weeks.
Sculptors suffer from MD. Demographic and work characteristic factors influence MD prevalence. Postural training, improved adaptation of work organization, and intervention guidance on ergonomic risks may reduce the prevalence of MD and the risk of MSDs in this population.
雕塑工艺必须采用导致肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）的别扭姿势。
本研究调查了雕塑家肌肉骨骼不适（MD）的流行情况及其与姿势危险因素、人口统计学和工作特征的关联。他们确定了研究周期间 MD 的差异。
进行了一项纵向研究；使用康奈尔肌肉骨骼不适问卷（CMDQ）调查 MD。使用快速上肢评估方法（RULA）评估姿势。多变量逻辑回归（MLR）模型分析了与不同因素的关联。使用方差分析（ANOVA）检验 MD 患病率的差异。
分析包括 585 个身体区域的响应。雕塑家下肢和上肢 MD 的患病率较高（67.6%），以下背痛、上臂、颈部和膝盖是受影响最严重的四个部位。性别（女性）（OR=2.15）、婚姻状况（已婚）（OR=1.80）、健康风险（肥胖）、兼职（OR=1.94）、工作压力（OR=2.10）、工作时间（OR=2.01）和难以跟上工作（OR=2.00）是导致不同身体部位 MD 发生的显著预测因素。只有肩部 MD 患病率在研究周之间存在显著差异。
雕塑家患有 MD。人口统计学和工作特征因素影响 MD 的患病率。姿势训练、改善工作组织的适应性以及对人体工程学风险的干预指导可能会降低该人群 MD 的患病率和 MSD 的风险。
