  • Title: [Functional condition of the spine in female workers in the cotton-processing industry evaluated on the basis of subjective and radiological studies].
    Author: Split W, Kotwica S.
    Journal: Med Pr; 1987; 38(3):220-3. PubMed ID: 2959836.
    Abstract:
    Studies involved 179 weaving and 173 spinning women. All of them underwent functional tests of the spine supported by X-ray tests. In approximately 45% of weavers and 29% of spinners functional disturbances in the lower segment of the spine were found. The incidence of the motorial disturbances of the spine was found to increase with age. The analysis of the impact of employment length upon the rate of motorial disturbances demonstrated that the disturbances occurred within the first years of work and reached the highest level after 10 years.
