Osteoarthritis of the Hip and Occupational Lifting [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1998
To test the hypothesis that occupational lifting is a cause of hip osteoarthritis, the authors examined associations with lifting and other occupational activities in a case-control study. The study was performed in two English health districts (Portsmouth and North Staffordshire) from 1993 to 1995.

Occupational lifting and pelvic pain during pregnancy: a study within the Danish National Birth Cohort

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Pelvic pain during pregnancy is a common ailment, and the disease is a major cause of sickness absence during pregnancy. It is plausible that occupational lifting may be a risk factor of pelvic pain during pregnancy, but no previous studies ...

Miscarriage and occupational activity: a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding shift work, working hours, lifting, standing, and physical workload [PDF]

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2013
OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have indicated that shift work, long working hours, and prevalent workplace exposures such as lifting, standing, and physical workload increase the risk of miscarriage, but the evidence is conflicting.

Occupational lifting of heavy loads and preterm birth: a study within the Danish National Birth Cohort [PDF]

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2013
To examine the association between occupational lifting during pregnancy and preterm birth. The risk of preterm birth was estimated for total burden lifted per day and number of medium and heavy loads lifted per day.In a study population of 62 803 pregnant women enrolled to the Danish National Birth Cohort from 1996 to 2002, the association between ...

Task-specific pain-related fear influences lifting biomechanics differently in individuals with and without occupations involving repetitive lifting tasks [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Higher task-specific pain-related fear has been linked to restricted lumbar spine range of motion (ROM) during lightweight object lifting in chronic low back pain (LBP) patients and reduced lumbar spine flexion angles in healthy individuals, suggesting protective movement strategies.

Biomechanical analysis of different lifting speeds when using an active exoskeleton [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionMusculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), especially lower back pain, are common consequences of repetitive and long-term mechanical stress. Exoskeletons offer a promising approach to reduce this stress by supporting the wearer during physical labour.

Neglected cause of retinal detachment: a hospital-based case-control study on occupational heavy lifting as a risk factor

Journal of the Egyptian Public Health Association, 2021
Background Heavy lifting may lead to sudden increase in venous, intra-abdominal, and intraocular pressure which in turn may cause retinal detachment (RD). The epidemiological evidence for this association is still inconclusive. This study was carried out
