[State of the locomotion system in blacksmiths working in hot forges].

Hygienic, clinical and roentgenologic studies covered locomotion apparatus in hot forging puncher blacksmiths who are exposed to several occupational hazards with vibration as the leading one. The studies covered work conditions and health state of risk group members-patients with some signs of vibration disease. Some up-to-date roentgenologic methods helped precise evaluation of occupational factors' role in bone manifestations of subclinical vibration disease.

[Osteoarticular function in lift truck operators].

Loader machine operators in Volzhskiĭ Automobile Works, who suffer from cervical osteochondrosis, were subjected to X-ray screening with special applied methods. The screening revealed various compensatory and dystrophic changes involving locomotion apparatus of hands and cervical part of spine. The studied occupational factors proved to enhance the locomotion disorders in the examinees.

[The criterial approach to the diagnosis of changes in the osteoarticular apparatus of persons in vibration-hazardous jobs].

A criterial approach to the diagnosis of the skeletal system changes in individuals exposed to industrial vibration, involving the use of the X-ray diagnostic criteria (gerontologic, manual, vertebral) and the criterion based on the absorbed dose of vibration energy (exposure criterion) together with the data on the vibration disease manifestations (clinical criterion), makes it possible to estimate the risk of vibration disease.

[Functional state and development of diseases of the locomotor system in seamstresses in relation to their work characteristics and degree of physical exertion of the hand muscles].

Physiological and clinical on-the-spot studies were performed of the labour conditions in 3 groups of female sewing-machine operators (respectively, engaged in making women's dresses, men's suits and men's coats). The analysis performed revealed different degrees of physical load and fatigue in the operators depending on the occupational peculiarities. Specific features of the peripheral nervous system and locomotor system disorders were studied in details, along with the causal relationships underlying the degree of physical load and fatiguability, overstrain development and cumulation. The results of the study were used as a basis for setting Health-Related regulations for sewing-machine operators.
