| Abstract |
680 women at day nurseries and school canteens, and 79 applicants for day nurseries were studied. Work-time studies, various questionnaires, physical fitness tests and orthopedic examinations were included. The incidence of low-back disorders was higher in school canteens than at the other workplaces. Factors significant for development of low-back disorders in day nursery staff were handling weight, floor condition at the workplace, marriage status, strength of abdominal and back muscles, and spinal mobility. |
