Abstract

Complaints of arm, neck and/or shoulder are the most common result of prolonged computer work. In addition to physical factors at work, their prevalence is linked to psychosocial and personal risk factors. The purpose of the study was to assess the prevalence of hand, neck and/or shoulder disorders in office workers in a selected Slovenian
company. We looked for associations between these diseases and risk factors. A total of 65 subjects, mostly women (86.2%), aged between 28 and 59 years, were included in the quantitative data processing. The online version of the Maastricht Upper Extremity Questionnaire was sent via e-mail to employees, who work mainly at a computer. The observational method was used to study workplace factors. Neck disorders were the most commonly reported with a prevalence of 0.48. Exploratory factor analysis extracted twelve factors, several of which showed associations with neck and upper limb disorders. The most
common workplace anomalies observed were chair back and the positioning of the screen. The prevalence of upper limb musculoskeletal disorders in the subjects is comparable to two Slovenian studies and to studies in other countries of the developed world. The findings on the association with risk factors and diseases in our study differ slightly from those of other studies.
