Abstract

The frequency of spine impairment was analysed in 586 workers, 347 with predominantly sedentary jobs and 239 with predominantly standing jobs. The average age of the workers was 39.16 years, the mean time of service 13.4 years. The total number of 78 (13.3%) workers were treated for spine trouble. In the group consisting of the workers with sedentary jobs 34 workers (60.7%) suffered from cervical syndrome, 22 workers (39.3%) from lumbosacral syndrome. In those with predominantly standing jobs lumbosacral syndrome was found more frequently (17 workers) than the cervical syndrome (5 workers). The results of analysis point to the fact that there is a higher frequency of cervical spine impairment in people with long-term overloading of cervical spine through sedentary working position.
