1. Legislative changes.
Sitting posture with static muscular effort over time can cause static
deformation as:
- Smoothing of cervical lordoza
- Increasing the thoracic kyphosis
- Functional disorders in the body - congestive phenomena
Tendinitis - Caused by chronic congestion of the arm muscles caused by
involuntary unnatural working posture. Can lead to occupational disability.
4. Vibration disease - risk factors are local, low frequency (below 10 Hz)
vibration.
5. Dynamic disabilities (occupational neuroses)
Disability movement and sensation due to the chronic
congestion of the upper limbs caused by work fine
dental instruments and handpieces.
Complaints occurring in performance of a specific
movement - manipulation.
Risk factors - forced working posture and non-
ergonomic handles of tools.
