Abstract

Aim and Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the working posture and the postural problems arising due to the awkward working posture among bank employees.

Materials and Method: One hundred and seventy-four bank employees working in different banks in and around Chennai were randomly selected and included in this study, over a period of three months. The randomly selected subjects were given the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire to find out the perception of musculoskeletal symptoms. The data were analyzed with Binary Logistic Regression using the Mini Tab (14) statistical software. The prevalence of postural problems in the study population was calculated and statistical significance was accepted for p < 0.05.

Results: Bank employees cited the reason that prevented them from work during the last 12 months were pain at low back(21.8%), upper back(13.8%), neck (9.7%) and hand pain(9.7%). The findings of this study shows the most prevalent MSD for the bank employees for the last one year were seen in the low back (70%), upper back (66%) followed by neck (62%), shoulders (48%). Generalized regression model was used to estimate presence or absence of work related musculoskeletal disorders among the professionals.

The values of the variables age, work experience, BMI, were found to be significant since the Wald Chi-Square tests indicate that P < 0.05.

Conclusion: The study revealed that professionals report a high prevalence of various types of work related musculoskeletal symptoms due to prolonged awkward postures at work. Good job design can lead to a reduction of musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract

Cerebral sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a correspondingly phenomenal neurological issue with a sweeping extent of signs that makes early assurance and estimate hard. Imaging expect a key activity in the finding of CVST. Quick and sensible helpful treatment is fundamental as cerebrum parenchymal changes and venous thrombus advancement are maybe reversible. The purpose of this paper is to assert that MRV in mix with MRI can adequately break down CVST.
