A kit for hand recovery following injury
Hand injuries represent approximately 20% of all disabling work injuries in California. Because they seldom constitute a threat to life, their care is often neglected, particularly in the recovery phase. A hand kit consisting of a sponge, a wooden towel, a paper bag and sandpaper, together with a set of instructions, has been developed to assist patients in regaining mobility in the hand.

The prevention of ulnar-nerve disease in glasscutters
Možnosti prevence onemocnění loketního nervu u brusičů skla [in Czech]
In the light of the examination of 233 glasscutters, the authors review various hypotheses on ulnar-nerve disease aetiology, with special reference to that of internal compression in the elbow joint due to flexion. The severity of the lesion is attributed to the disproportion between workpiece weight and muscular effort in grinding. Engineering measures to reduce the muscular effort required and to improve the work posture; administrative measures to regulate the workload and working hours (in particular for muscle relaxation); muscle exercises, massage, etc. after work are recommended.

The incidence of gynaecological disorders in female shoe-industry workers and the relationship with work posture
Ginekologičeskaja zabolevaemost' rabotnic obuvnogo proizvodstva v svjazi s rabočej posoj [in Russian]
A study of working conditions and the incidence of gyanecological disorders amongst 200 female shoe-industry workers. Gynaecological findings are related to standing and sitting postures, age and length of employment. The incidence of gynaecological incapacity for work was 5-7%. Statistical analysis showed that there is a clear relationship between standing posture and dysmenorrhoea (P>0.001) and retroflexio uteri (P>0.01). 2 additional 10min work breaks and, in the second half of the shift, compensatory gymnastics were introduced. Ergonomic improvements are also recommended.

The footballer's ankle and foot
90% of 59 professional football players when x-rayed showed pathological changes of ankles and feet; 10% had obvious but milder lesions. None had ever suffered and ankle or foot injury that required the attention of a physician. Of 50 control subjects who had never played football, only 4% showed such changes. Abnormal x-ray signs included those of osteoarthritis, peri-articular new bone, exostoses of talus, calcification of tibiofibular ligament. Any man who had played football for 9yrs or more had one or more of these abnormalities. The incidence and severity of changes seem related to a player's weight, his position on the team and the duration of stress applied to the lower extremities.
