The aim of the study was twofold, (i) to detect neck and upper limb disorders in slaughterhouse workers and (ii) to develop methods for the epidemiologic screening of these disorders. A total of 117 slaughterhouse workers underwent a physical examination of the neck and upper extremities and were interviewed for their subjective symptoms. In addition to a prestructured screening diagnosis, a clinical diagnosis was made. The prevalence of tension neck syndrome was 6.2%, and that of tenosynovitis and peritendinitis of the wrist and forearm 4.4%. The screening diagnoses were not always the same as the clinical diagnoses obtained in more-detailed examinations. However, the nine disorders in the screening method fairly well represented the disorders detected in the clinical examination.
（i）检测屠宰场工人的颈部和上肢疾病；（ii）开发这些疾病的流行病学筛查方法。共有117名屠宰场工人接受了颈部和上肢的体格检查，并就其主观症状接受了访谈。除了进行结构化的筛查诊断外，还做出了临床诊断。紧张性颈部综合征的患病率为6.2%，手腕和前臂的腱鞘炎和腱鞘周围炎的患病率为4.4%。筛查诊断并不总是与在更详细检查中获得的临床诊断一致。然而，筛查方法中的九种疾病相当好地代表了临床检查中检测到的疾病。
