Risk factors of pain of the locomotive apparatus
A. Civilization risk factors: Factors related to changes of lifestyle (hypokinesis, lowered variability of movements, onesided monotonous physical strain, psycho-social factors).
B. Individual risk factors: Body constitution, age, sex, body weight, sport, out-of-work activities, other illnesses.
C. Risk factors of work conditions: Strenuous physical work, positional or movement strain (long term sitting, standing, forced-upon work positions), physical factors (whole-body vibrations, micro-climatic conditions), harmful chemical substances, psycho-social factors (negative work moral, monotonous work, stress).
Active prevention
Under the expression "active prevention" we understand active compensation of locomotive regime or compensation devices and tools, which balance out the one-sided long term load of the organism while working. There are many possibilities of compensation when we consider the work load, the age, state of health, gender, time constraints, etc.
- The ergonomics of work (correct work position, adjustment of work conditions, usage of ergonomic products)
- Targeted exercises performed during work which lighten the strain of the overused parts
- Recreational sport (swimming, running, ball games…)
- Fitness (jóga, powerjóga, posilovna, aerobic ...)
- Targeted rehabilitation exercises
- Relaxation procedures (massages, sauna…)
