An assessment of neck and upper extremity disorders by questionnaire and clinical examination

Abstract

To study the usefulness of a screening questionnaire for neck/upper extremity complaints, 165 women in either repetitive industrial, or mobile and varied work, were studied by the questionnaire and by a detailed clinical physical examination. A total of 94 subjects recorded complaintsin the questionnaire. In 140 subjects findingswere recorded at the examination. Most subjects with findings at the clinical examination of shoulders reported complaints in the questionnaire (sensitivity 80%). For the other anatomical regions, the sensitivity was rather low (42– 65%). For all regions, most subjects without findings reported no complaints (specificity 77–97%). A total of 75 subjects were given clinical diagnoses according to a set of predetermined diagnostic criteria. The capacity of the questionnaire to identify diagnoses of shoulders was higher (sensitivity 92%) than for the other regions (66–79%). Of subjects who did not qualify for diagnosis, a majority (specificity 71–81%) did not report complaints in the questionnaire. We conclude that the questionnaire approach gives a fairly good picture of the neck/upper extremity status of a working female population. However, a clear view of the size of a problem is obtained only by a detailed clinical examination, particularly as regards the neck, elbows and hands, for which the questionnaire gave an underestimate.     

支持向量机分类器在医疗诊断中的应用研究

在医疗诊断中，常根据病人的多项病理检测结果进行诊断，由于存在个体的差异和数据本身的噪声，所以要准确的诊断是困难的，支持向量机是统计学习理论基础上发展而来的一种新的通用学习方法，具有很多独特的优点。该文介绍了支持向量机非线性分类算法，选取径向基核函数，构造了支持向量机非线性分类器，并将其应用于心脏病诊断，所用数据来自UCI benchmark数据集，与其它方法相比，取得了较高的准确率，结果表明支持向量机在医疗诊断中有很大的应用潜力。

Musculoskeletal disorders among female and male air traffic controllers performing identical and demanding computer work

Operators with identical, demanding computer work (90 female and 97 male air traffic controllers) were found to have high prevalences of disorders (assessed by questionnaire and physical examination) in neck, shoulders and upper back. In spite of the identical work, the women displayed higher prevalences than the men (e.g. neck diagnoses 21% vs. 4%). Disorders in elbows, wrists and hands were less common, with similar rates in both genders. Generally, the psychosocial work environment (assessed by questionnaire) was found to be good, but with large inter-individual variation. Women experienced lower decision latitude than men, particularly regarding influence and freedom at work, but perceived higher social support. Physically, the work was characterized by relatively low angular velocities of upper arms (measured by inclinometry) and wrists (right: <1°/s during 19% of time, measuring by goniometry), dynamic muscular activities and high time fractions of rest in the trapezius and forearm extensor muscles (measuring by electromyography). There were only minor differences between the genders.
