Chapter 6 Discussion
The mean age of tailors in the study participants is 36.9+10.96. The mean MI score is 25.6+5.14 on average all falling in normal categories of BMI. In the current data 95.5% were male whereas only 4.5% ere female tailors .so the main study participants were male .92.8% tailors were working in shop base units whereas only 7.3% had home based serving unit. 51.8% tailors used table sitting whereas 48.3% used floor sitting as there working station .6.5% tailors reported to have proper ergonomic training from there master whereas a huge number 93.5% had no prior ergonomic training of any kind but when they were asked …show more content…
The mean working hour and experience of tailors is 9.30+2.55 and 13.54+8.96 respectively. The mean ergonomic risk assessment score (QEC) as calculated to be 46.11+14.83. Based on this Quick exposure check score 93.3% tailors are following in an acceptable level of ergonomic risk, 6.5% need further investigation and only 3% need immediate change in their work environment. Generalized musculoskeletal complaints were reported by most of the tailors is last 7 days and last 3 months. Tailors reported to commonly have acute verses chronic upper back (70%, 80%), lower back (65%, 75%) and neck pain (55%, 60%) that is related to their tailors.
This study found that 63.8% tailors showed interest in ergonomic training. The aim of study was to evaluate the frequency of work related musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic risk assessment among tailors. The risk of exposure of WRMSD was observed by using Quick exposure check(QEC) which showed mean score of 46.11. Sıdıka Bulduk et al (2017) also conducted a study in Gazi University in Turkey and revealed that ergonomic training is required to reduce the musculoskeletal disorders in tailors. …show more content…
Current study found that tailors suffering from various musculoskeletal problems are due to excessive repetitive movements. In this study subjects were assessed for different body regions but most common sore areas were upper back, neck and lower back. Current study found that 80% subjects have upper back pain, 75% lower back, 60% of subjects have neck pain which affects their ADLs. Maduagwu SM et al (2015) also indicated that prevalence of WRMSD was 43.4%. Majority (81.2%) of the participants were in the age of between 11 to 40 years and male with low back (41.7%)and neck (34.7%) were most affected body areas. (15) High prevalence of MSD noted in those workers that are exposed to manual labors, unusual repetitive restricted postures, vibrations, and certain psychological and social conditions. Hyolyun Roh P et al 2014 also found that WRMSD affects all body parts like wrist but the most common body areas affected is neck, upper back, low
