LÆKNABLAÐIÐ
Að lokum skal bent á að þessi óþægindi,
sem ef til vill er hægt að koma í veg fyrir
með styttri vinnutíma, bættum aðstæðum
á vinnustað, minni streitu og hollri
líkamsþjálfun, koma greinilega til meðferðar
hjá ýmsum heilbrigðisstarfsmönnum. Hversu
mikið væri unnt að spara í heilbrigðiskerfinu
með markvissum forvamaraðgerðum verður að
bíða seinni rannsókna.
Þakkir: Sjúkraþjálfurunum Þórunni
Sveinsdóttur og Magnúsi H. Ólafssyni er
þakkað ánægjulegt samstarf við upphaf
þessarar rannsóknar.
SUMMARY
Musculoskeletal symptoms from neck and
shoulders. Survey of a random sample of the
Icelandic population, 11.
This is a part of a population study among
Icelanders on the prevalence of muskuloskeletal
symptoms. The aim of this paper was to describe
symptoms from neck and shoulder. A random
sample of 855 subjects received a questionnaire
developed by a working group supported by the
Nordic Council of Ministers. Women did report
more symptoms than men. The percentages of
women and men who became unable to work
because of symptoms from neck the last 12 months
were 14.5 and 11.7 respectively. 15.3% women
and 12% men became unable to work some time
during the last 12 months because of symptoms
from shoulders. The results will be used as a
reference material in future studies.
